You raise some good points and I agree with most of them.

I live in Canada and the only option of I have to sideload is paying for a developer account which is $100 CAD/year, otherwise I am stuck with a version where I have to re-sign the apps every 7 days. I know that the EU version is cumbersome and still needs Apple to notarise apps. My point here is that it’s hard to sideload, within and outside of the EU.

I truly believe their notion of a “walled garden” is just nonsense. They use this to justify preventing other people from accessing their digital marketplace or creating their own marketplace. It’s just a money grab and a monopoly.

At least on Android, I have the option to use the Play Store, Samsung Store, or any other 3rd party App Store, or simply sideload for free. I don’t have this option with an iPhone.

This instance just contradicted their marketing gimmick that they curate everything that goes into the App Store.

I would like them to open up their walled garden outside of the EU.
