Partially correct.

Thinking about them in terms of the mall or a shopping plaza is good. However, you mistakenly compared the app store with the Gap.

The app store is the mall space, numerous apps abound, as do shops. The gap might not sell porn, but Victoria secret, Spencers, Hollywood (nights?? I can't recall) exist in the mall and might not be porn but... Some retail plazas might have an adult section. Best buy or Fry's at one point had adult magazines and videos.

Some retail plazas even have other things progressives and democrats find offensive, like guns and old classic literature. Occasionally you can also find a pawn shop in a retail plaza.

There was a point where you would rent out your mall or retail space to anyone with the money to cover the cost plus a small profit. The decadence, wealth inequality, and unrealistic valuations from government interference have led to a world where it's fairly easy for some to cherry pick who they want renting from them based upon their ideological, political, or racial spectrum or beliefs. The same now occurs in our app stores.

Thankfully hyper capitalism's provided an alternative, Windows, Android, or linux, and pine.

I suppose if you're a socialist you probably don't understand how it all works without a government edict giving you instructions and making sure you and your neighbor have the same marginal product.

However, even without this edict, rest assured that you can make the change without the government allowing you to... Fell free to switch.

Didn't they just fire a Michigan State University prof for having a different opinion?

Honestly, just drain the system as much as you can.
