Of course it’s their God given right. It shouldn’t be their right to violate God’s law, but “my totes fav phone provider totes doesn’t have side loading” is just entitled, and an unjust use of coercion.

Fundamentally, no. Because in many EU countries people have given their lives for freedom. These people and their offspring have the right not to be bullied by large companies. If Apple wants 100% freedom in producing what they want, then Apple can start/fight for their own country with its own army, education system etc.

This whole idea of a free market existing in a vacuum must stop.

I’ll let you have the last comment and won’t comment after this, but you’re equating a company not providing the feature set you want with bullying. Especially when they’re multiple alternatives with the feature you want, I think it just comes down to an entitlement mindset.
