    Well then let’s flip that right around then: if “most people” never do it, why the fuck should they spend the energy to ban it?

    The difference between “average person” and “most people” is beside the point. It doesn’t really matter if we’re talking about 1 standard deviation from median or 3. Edge cases matter. Outliers matter. Choice matters. People matter.

      Isn’t this more of a way to reduce the energy to support it instead of the opposite? I’m not in favor of removing it, but I understand the reason.

        I think it’s the opposite. It takes work to implement restrictions. And they they’re presumably going to need ongoing work to patch workarounds. The restrictions would be on top of the standard functionality. They can’t remove or simplify anything by restricting app installations.
