    If apple ecosystem is so better then there is no reason to fight over it, people won’t force themselves to download new app store and apps when they are inferior.

    But the truth is that iPhone apps made by apple are awesome, the way they works and synchronize with Mac and iCloud, excellent ! but the app store itself is filled with garbage that require very expensive subscription. I was shocked coming from Android to see such low quality and so expensive, and I’m pretty sure apple knows that. So when a new app store offer the same garbage but a little less expensive, and no apple fee, of course people are going to download it.

      Funny thing is, the reason I never considered buying an iPhone was because I liked developing small apps and doing this on an iPhone is virtually impossible without paying. And I don’t think I’m alone here, and this problem scales to professionals.

        Yeah. But when you run your own business or have multiple responsibility then iphone makes all sense. The way everything just works and works well. Like i used to edit pdf on the fly with my iPhone easily, android i still haven’t figured out what app is great for reading, highlighting and removing or adding pages without requiring subscription or being bloated like Microsoft office or Adobe. And it’s the same shit for everything that apple has already made app for, they re just much better than what you get on android. Not even speaking of open source or small app like you say that are broken after the développer decide to fuck off (i understand why) or is just bad because développer ain’t user interface designer.
