I demand some degree of freedom as an end-user. If all of the possible alternatives strip that basic freedom from me, I will simply fall back to the option which has the most features, which means moving to Apple.
(Also, losing to competition seems to be the only way companies nowadays can perceive loss of users' trust)
Wait. Is the same freedom available on iOS at all? Don't you need a developer license there as well? Forget the fact that side loading and alternate stores are not possible at all.
