I agree that alternative app stores are definitely a boon and I can't wait for the EU to nail Apple to the wall over dragging their feet on that. Competition is good and that 30% fee monopoly is bullshit.

There are iOS terminal clients (I like Termius). The ROM thing, yeah... I installed /e/OS on my Fairphone 4 just for the privacy aspect, but functionally it's not better or worse than what came in the box. There might be reasons to do it but utility-wise I don't very well see the point in this day and age.

I hadn't thought of the developer license requirement to run your own software, I personally don't do that but I can see it being a deal breaker. Thanks for your thoughts. :)
