What's the story with that?

Basically Cydia is an apt manager for jailbroken iOS devices and while Cydia itself is open-source, the tools required to get tweak injection (Mobile Substrate) are not, making Cydia itself useless for newer jailbreaks released. Making Cydia not only a monopoly but centralizing the tools required to make it useful at all.
