The problem here is that the EU, which would normally be the only hope to put a stop to bullshit like this, seems to like this.

It's easy. For the average user, device integrity is more valuable (by a lot) than side loading.

People that think this is unacceptable are not remotely average users. Average users benefit greatly from their pocket appliance not being a full fledged computer.

Don't pretend that average users are asked, or that their opinions would matter. Or even that you have some sort of insight into the average user that other people don't have.

People who think this is unacceptable are the people who 1) understand what it is, 2) don't stand to profit from it, and 3) don't dream about locking average users into an ecosystem that they control some day.

You say this as if the widespread embrace of Apple/locked down Android phones is meaningless, fully a bamboozle with no user choice reflected at all.
