I see no evidence that this harms consumers at all. Quite the opposite.
I like the walled garden and have no interest in it going away. I like that my mom can install apps and not worry about them spying on her.
I like that developers aren’t allowed to use their own payment processors. I don’t want to input my credit card into your black box payment system that might or might not charge me correctly.
I see that it does harm developers, but that’s a different conversation entirely.
If you want to install whatever apps you want, buy an android phone! And have fun while their bloat ware and preinstalled crap spams you with notifications and scams you.
