Oh, thank god Apple lets users install whatever software they want—hey, wait a minute...

The question wasn’t how to switch OSs without losing current capabilities, it was how to stop using Android. Switching OS is how.

Losing side loading is something being lost either way.

Ios is bad. I'd rather have locked down android with the official terminal, rather than go back to using the iSh[1] app for terminal on ios

This is exactly the question. The article is about Google taking away software freedom, forcing developers to dox themselves, and forcing users to only install software from Google's approved list.

Apple is already there. How would that help anyone?

At the very least, the threat of losing a large number of users may cause Google to reverse their decision.

There seems to be a lot of “we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas” energy in this thread.
