Honestly, no company should have this much control over people's businesses and livelihoods.
iPhone is a generic pocket computer, and it has outgrown Apple's desire to maintain a fiefdom.
Congress and the EU should force Apple to allow 3rd party marketplaces and installs. Apple is free to charge 30% for the App Store, but they can't be the only way to get code onto an iPhone. Nor should they be the only first class way of doing it.
Edit: I frequently get downvotes because of this. Who really wants everything going through Apple 100% of the time? I don't understand this perspective at all. Do you like not having control of your devices?
