Billionaires tell us app stores are stifling choice and suppressing free speech, rallying us against them. Ignore it all, because app stores are great for us.
It’s time to celebrate the app store. Not just Apple’s App Store, but Google Play too. They are digital toy shops, full of wonders and joy, available to everyone who walks through the virtual door. When you’re inside you feel safe and secure, everything is in place for you to quickly pay for all your new things, so you walk away happy and satisfied.
When it’s time to update the app it happens in the background, and if you want to cancel a subscription you know exactly where to find the option. If you have an Android phone you do all this through Google Play, and although you could do it through the separately installed Amazon App Store, Samsung’s Galaxy Store, or one of the various other third-party Android app store options, you probably won’t.
Now, what if these app stores weren’t there, or the app you wanted wasn’t available inside the store? Huawei knows what happens next because, since being locked out of accessing Google Mobile Services, it has been busily building its own app store and mobile service ecosystem. You can try it out on any modern Huawei phone. Except if you’re in the U.S., that is, because you can’t buy one. So much for being given a choice, but I digress.
It works, but it’s markedly more frustrating and off-putting than simply getting those apps from the App Store or Google Play. You absolutely don’t want to do it regularly, yet that’s what will happen if Elon Musk gets Twitter kicked out of app stores, or Daniel Ek goes it alone with Spotify, just like Epic Games did with Fortnite. There would be zero benefits to you, regular phone user, as I’m highly doubtful app prices would fall.
