That's...just not true. It's like dumb easy if you know that an android app is an APK file. Or even just a quick web search about the subject. The situation has always been that it's harder to sideload on apple vs android.
Dumb easy for you and likely most of Lemmy. I think you over estimate the capabilities of the general public.
That's completely fair.
It's easy but it's extra steps, thus out of your way. I don't know any non power users that don't use the play store exclusive. I think Apple is putting up a big fuss about nothing, they've probably wasted more money fighting this than they'd lose. The built in app store has such a ridiculously huge home field advantage.
