In this post, I hope to clarify and expand on some of the points and rebut some of the counter-messaging that we have witnessed.

My logic is that if no one allows direct install of apps, I might as well move to a more secure walled garden than the dogshit security posture Android has.

    It's interesting to me that there is no thought at all to move to "neither". Of course, that is what they count on, people not willing to give something so perceived important up.

    I recently lost my phone for a few days. Until I found it, it was annoying, but life still worked. Of course, it's a major drop in convenience, no doubt, but I would've likely been fine without either Android or iPhone.
