This is exactly the point I try to make but to no avail. I don't understand why it's so hard for most people to see that you can still have a curated app store even if there's an option buried in the menu to allow power users to subscribe to additional stores, or sideload, etc.
If there's any Apple people who think that would be bad, I'd love to hear about it. So far it's been nearly impossible to get an answer on that. At that point the argument usually changes to "just get an Android if that's what you want" or "nobody but you cares about that" or "if you want to sideload just pay the annual developer fee" or "Apple's curation is a lot better than Google's" (which is an entirely different argument I would point out).
