That's a great reason why Apple (absent regulation) will never do it, but that's not really the point. I don't particularly care what Apple does or doesn't want.
Software piracy is a fact of life. Attempting to protect against it, and eating whatever (possibly imagined losses) are costs of doing business. That's been that case as long as there have been personal computers.
> On Android, it’s pretty well documented the majority of APK installs are piracy.
How many of those would actually lead to a sale, though? This is the same argument the music and movie studios always trotted out, and it's just as invalid now. Many people just won't pay for things, and will otherwise do without.
