Do you really want to live in that world? The world where I have to get past Google&#x27;s, Apple&#x27;s (iOS and Mac app store), Debian&#x27;s and Steam&#x27;s arbitrary rules about what is and isn&#x27;t an acceptable app? Where a company&#x2F;project&#x27;s current head gets to decide what it is, and isn&#x27;t, acceptable to install?<p>One of the reasons Windows flourished was the openness of the platform.
