I don't see the problem here. Nobody should be able to install or disallow installation of software on a device except for the end user.

This is a value statement. There is more public concern and support for security and freedom to use commercial software than there is for using it as a Stallmanesque general-purpose computer.

End users aren’t phone experts, and a huge portion of end users would like to completely delegate this decision to phone security experts at their handset manufacturer.

  • And nobody is trying to stop them.

    I'm not your grandma, though, and I'll thank you (and Apple) for not treating me as if I were.
