Do we really want the App Store to become the rotten cesspool that is Google Play? Do we really want to open the floodgates to thousands of third party web browsers crawling with malware and zero days? Personally I will never use Android because of this, and I thank god that Apple has held the line here. They have extremely good reasons for maintaining the policies they do, and the average user of an iPhone simply cannot be protected any other way.

Perhaps a more apt comparison is wanting the App Store on iPhone to become like the App Store on MacOS. Which is to say, empty, filled with expensive scam apps, and struggling to justify itself when every major software provider makes you download their app as a DMG off their website.
Maybe Apple's iPhone aspirations aren't compatible with what the market actually wants. It certainly seems that way on Mac.
