I didn't say they did, there are already examples where they don't, e.g.
does Apple allow side-loading outside of the EU?

Hi Andy,

I've been studying Apple's security flaws over the years and I've concluded
that Apple has more than Android in almost all cases, or, at the very best,
just as many (in the 2024 0-day exploits estimate anyway).

 These are the facts:

The reason I bring this up in relation to your comment that Apple likely is
only allowing sideloading in the EU, is the observation that Apple's stated
reason for NOT allowing sideloading has always been "security".

And yet, the iPhone is decidedly NOT any more secure than Android is.

So why not allow sideloading?

The answer is obvious to anyone with a brain, and that is profit.

But what's interesting is the Apple owner believes the propaganda that
removing sideloading makes them safer - when in fact - it does not.

Interesting.
