What utter nonsense. It's not like any other company is any different, 
and apart from a few loud-mouthed morons who want to fill their own 
pockets at Apple's expense, nobody gives a flying crap that you can 
only install iOS apps from teh Apple App Store.

Epic, Google, etc. were whining on about how Apple charges too much in 
fees for their app store, and then has pretty much the same thing for 
developers wanting to use their store ... and why are they charging the 
same? Simply *because* Apple does, so they equal it rather than 
actually trying to compete. Just like every other business segment - 
there is no real "competition" on prices because they all simply match 
each other for the same price.  :-\
