Here's a small but more poignant reason: F-Droid exists on Android, not as a huge app store, but a nice FOSS-only community with its own standards of app quality and screening for malware. Surely as hackers we can at least appreciate an analogous community being made feasible on iOS, and not in a slightly more shady unofficial capacity like the jailbroken-only Cydia.

And surely, as hackers, we can appreciate having the freedom to not be unilaterally subject to the whims of a single corporation's dictates.
