In all fairness nothing changes. You are happy with the store? Stay on the store!

But I am an adult, a developer with 25 years of experience and enjoy hacking.

It is my right to pretend from Apple to let me install whatever I want on the device I bought and own 100% and to not be patronizing.

Put the damn setting somewhere hard to activate accidentally and require triple authorisation if it need to be, but stop playing games.

Thanks
