Let’s pretend there’s a world where Apple can’t ban android from getting installed on an iPhone.

Is Apple going to quit making iPhones then?

Their financial incentive is that they’re effectively the default OS on these devices. How many people are installing Linux or ChromeOS on a laptop that was preinstalled with windows?

What this does mean though is that if Apple makes the consumer experience worse, switching OSes doesn’t mean buying a new phone. It means reinstalling with a third party OS.
