Quick note: Google's Advanced Protection program disallows sideloading apps, so you can't install F-droid. Edit: Note that the Advanced Protection program is opt-in for users that require the highest degree of security Google can offer. Regular users won't be impacted by this.

Between this and ish Android without third party app stores/apps is now worse than iOS.

This is far from true. Unless Google removed the possibility of installing packages from third party sources, the situation in Android for *nix username is still far better than iOS. AFAIK, iSH only runs in TestFlight right?

Nope, it’s still in the AppStore[0]. So far, Apple hasn’t followed through on it’s threat.
The usable version is from F-Droid. And I had to install that one just to install Termux. No need to root your phone. Simply install F-Droid app store, and install from there.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

No it's on the app store now, likely because Apple knows they're violating anti trust laws.
Because AFAIK Apple doesn't allow installation of packages.
