Sure, Evil Microsoft.

But Apple is the one that normalized this.

...Like the developer account for mobile

...Like "sideloading"

And this is why this things should have been fought much harder from the beginning.

These companies are merely copying what the other is getting away with.

This is false, I use one of my Macs without logging in to Apple. Getting Xcode is the only culprit.

That's a pretty uncharitable take. Parent wasn't defending Microsoft and it's worth recognizing that this move is part of a general pattern on the part of "big tech".
