I suppose I’m just wondering why people are so angry even about the principle. Ultimately, Riley wants AltStore to be a success and that’s his prerogative. Delta is his app to distribute how he sees fit, and just as soon as alternative app stores are available outside the EU, you can bet that Delta will disappear from the regular App Store. And that’s fine. He doesn’t owe us anything.
In this example, the principle at stake is such a negligible cost (to the individual user) that it just doesn’t seem worth getting irate over it.
I don't think people are losing their shit or anything. It's an annoyance that leaves a bad taste in some peoples mouth knowing that every other geolocation can just install it like any other app. That's a fair complaint.
