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.
