I agree, but we shouldn't end app stores entirely. I don't want to go back to the days of Windows in the 2000s where you always had to download random executables from websites to install software. | ||

This is 2025 and still the way it works. I've never seen a lambda user install a package manager. | ||

We have scoped accounts, jails, permissions, and a whole host of new protections now. And this is still how people get desktop software. | ||

>had to download random executables from websites I don't remember being forced to use a randomizer for downloading executables... Actually, people are more likely to install random apps from an app store, because the OS promotes that behavior. | ||
