Showing how App Store is consumer centric - I think that's important to put in the context where Apple has to keep a tight grip or else these savage businesses would devour the customer's privacy in instant and exploit their psyche with tricks to milk as much money as they can.

I am glad Apple is gatekeeping.



Native apps have always been major privacy leaks with little oversight while Apple has spent most of the effort on Safari. The app store doesn't change that fact.


This is like claiming that you're glad when a TSA agent gropes you, because that keeps the savage terrorists out.

In both cases, it is a security theatre which is abused for reasons not related to security.
