Jason Snell really hit the nail on the head this week:

If Apple’s locked-down approach in the App Store era is our future, it’s a bleak one indeed. But there’s good news: Apple has also built a system that provides security, flexibility, and responsibility while letting device owners run the software they want to run.

It’s called the Mac.

Bingo. This is why I’m skeptical of the Vision Pro: it’s an iPad with an even-smaller software catalogue.
