    LOL this is not a hypothetical. there are already bad apps in the regular app store. now you have two.

    also Android has nothing on the security posture of Apple.

      So you admit having a walled garden doesn’t protect you from malicious apps, but you still want on to…protect you from malicious apps?

          You really need to explain this to me. Assuming apple provides a security benefit, then the same benefit still exist if you do not use the sideloading, except for apps that do not want to get checked by apple. But you only want apps that are secure also that are checked. How is the ability to get (maybe) less secure apps a danger to you, given thst you will still use the app store.
