Problem is that it is incompatible to "get what we want".

For people who bought into managed garden the minute it is dismantled you lose "all apps need to stick to do not track me request" you get mish-mash of everything.

This is cost to give others freedom to side load. There is no way to put genie into the bottle if it is out.

Only way I see it would be possible is that Apple could offer fully locked iPhones and multi-store iPhones. Then market could decide what works better.

Developers, especially on HN, cannot accept there is group of customers that just doesn't want to interact them directly.

There is nothing that prevents you from staying in the managed garden. Just use the Apple app store, and don't use other app stores.

Then don't interact with them. Just use the Apple app store only. Problem solved.

There is nothing that prevents you from staying out and using all other platforms app stores. There are plenty.

Correct. When this bipartisan bill passes, everyone will be able to install whatever app store that they want on their iPhone, and Apple won't be able to do anything to stop it.

The future is going to be pretty awesome, when the law forces Apple to make it extremely easy for people to use other app stores.
