Would be a non-issue, if we could sideload.
Just wait for the fly-by-night stores that will pop up, sell apps, and then disappear without a trace.

You think it will be better... but we've had it really good compared to how it will be.

It’s all because of the DMA that the EU is forcing Apple to change on their services. Apple is making those changes now and as a result, these services are suffering from reliability issues.
