Nope, Adobe will make sure all its apps require Adobe App Store. Same for Facebook with Whatsapp. No more stupid Apple store restrictions, yay!!
Thats hasnt happened on android.
Readit NewsWhat HackerNews thinks will happen: "zomg, I will finally be able to run Arch on my iPhone!"
What will actually happen: "honey, something is wrong with my phone, whenever I unlock it, a popup jumps up that says 'Please update the Adobe™ Updater™ to get up to date Adobe™ Software Updates', could you take a look at it?"
Uh no. How many phones are running F-droid? Please stop spreading useless fear. And my inlaws or parents have yet to install any malware on their androids. I check regularly.
It’s not a popular opinion around here, but the reason I like my iPhone is _because_ it’s a walled garden. It just works, reliably, without surprises, for years on end.
Until it doesnt. Then there is nothing you can do. It leads to ewaste. Thats what happened to my ipod touch and iphone 6 plus after 2 years.

Tricky. Politics/societal/economic/etc issues such as this one are very important to be discussed. However, companies are a place for work.
Talking to co-workers can be quite fulfilling and exciting when conversing about engineering, marketing, or other work related subjects you are passionate about. However, anytime politics, etc are brought up I (for one) leave the conversation feeling in a worse state of mind than when I first got into it. That is very unproductive.
For this reason, I believe that the workplace should be left to work related things (including conversations) and anything else should ideally be done out of work. Even if involving the same group of people.
Policy affects daily life. A stable daily life leads to a productive worker. Wanting stable work but not doing anything to support the workers life is the biggest most capitalistic thing too. Heartless and inhumane

Unfortunately only us technical folks have it good.
I solved this problem by using three methods - homeassistant is number one. The second, is only integrating / purchasing devices that I can either manually flash open source software on (think tasmota for instance,) or the solution's API has been re'd. The third thing is Shelly. Shelly products are the shit. I'm not a shill either; I've purchased every single Shelly I own (~40.)
Shelly makes automating lights and switches amazing because you don't replace the switch, they're literally wife proof. I've also flashed all my Shelly devices to communicate to homeassistant directly, however they have native non cloud integration capabilities.
Again, this doesn't solve the main problem of fragmentation - home assistant addresses this by being a black box, but it's not for normies, I don't know how it ever could be. It has gotten super slick though. The other issue is stuff like Shelly requires a technical brain - the way they're installed you'd be playing with mains current, and no Suzie home maker should be doing that...
Can you provide a link to Shelly? Thank you.

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive and flamebait comments? You've been doing that a ton lately, and we ban such accounts—it's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for.
(No, that's not because of Elonian tendencies - quite the opposite, in fact: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31625029)
Really? And getting down voted by Apple fanbois is?
I have never been able to downvote. I dont know how. And yet I see legitimate questions getting downvoted for no reason in Apple threads. Pretty one sided to me.
I am not going to claim freedom of speech. I see the value in your work and the site. But I also need to point out the increasing responses Elonian and Apple posts get vs dismal responses to importsnt issues.

Heres a new black box. It looks like the last but is 20% better. Trust me. We didnt fix bugs in our crappy software. It was perfect the day you got it. So, the improvents could only be in this new black box. Sure we neeed to whip people to mine thse rocks and underpay them, but look at the shiny form over function.
Also, just dump your old stuff every year, sine you dont want to be that uncool kid, doyou? All the coal melting, molding, glass, labor, CO2, is worthless now. And while youre here, it will be one kidney or a yearlong service for a low price of $50, which if you give us all your financial history you can get a 3% cashback on.

We’ll basically lose a whole stack of the guarantees about data, app operation that Apple was able to enforce on hostile, belligerent companies like fb because of their position.
