It's hard to imagine people who buy iPhones care about sideloading. Their priority is the convenience of iMessage and the Apple ecosystem.

Sorry, can't be bothered with whatever issue this is.
I'm busy shopping for a North Face tent so I'll have it to camp in the next time a new ear pod case gets released.

EU, I belive in you!
I suppose they can charge to use their own side-loading software, or their alternative app store, but I'm not sure what happens if a third party offers a side-loading platform that doesn't pay Apple.
I suppose they can just refuse to allow such platforms to exist, but the EU may not feels that satisfies their grievances. Eventually they're going to have to require side-loading.
Good, charge those gossip wannabies.. in the meanwhile I will use degoogled Android and I will not pay a flying fuck.. LMAO..
