I don’t know why you are bringing this up. Enterprise is clearly not the target demographic for this legislation but public consumers.
What is even the point of your rambling exactly? If people are given devices from their employers the company owns the device, so of course it’s not far fetched to lock it down in provisioning and only allow certain usage. The same reason you probably don’t allow the install of TikTok even if it’s an App Store app.
If I pay for MY own device with MY own money, I get to do what I want with MY device, and YOU will get no control over it.
So, based on this logic, Apple should also build a back door into iOS so that they can "track down" terrorists because the government should have access to anyone's device at the same control as you want.
What's next? You want root control of the entire chipset next? Oh, should Apple not protect their trade secrets so YOU could build YOUR own smartphone? Is that how much CONTROL YOU want?
We don't allow TikTok installed in our MDM because it's not work related, not because TikTok is inherently. TikTok, like any social media site, is a time waster. And we do not allow company devices to waste company time.
How much control do you want? Do you want to overclock the iPhone? Do you want to use the web browser to also be the same app to have access to the filing system? Windows XP did that and it worked, fantastically.
It's the same argument Woz and Steve had, and Steve always won. Microsoft does not allow root access to Windows much anymore, and MacOS has never allowed root. Root is allowed by an Administrator account to login as root as a Super User (SU) much like its BSD 7 father.
How much control does the user actually need? Do you really need a second App Store to download TikTok? Are you worried about how that Third Party App Store will use your data? Or try to protect it? Apple is a 3 trillion dollar company, it can afford to lock its entire infrastructure down. The Epic App Store will just have Fortnite. You want multiple App Stores to manage multiple Apps? Did we not learn from cord cutting causing the rise of 40 different streaming services all charging the same price eclipsing the original cost of cable?
Did we not learn that SOMEONE is taking a 15%-20% cut of the App's revenue to fund the maintenance and admin of the App Store REGARDLESS of whose App Store it is?
What cut does the Amazon or Samsung Galaxy stores take from devs?
And is it worth it to a dev to supply multiple stores when over 85% of all downloads come from the default App Store (Google Play/Apple App Stores)? And they're still gonna pay a percent of their revenue to the owner of that App Store. Maybe not at first, that's called a Bait and Switch sales tactic. "Dollar Gets You Started!" does not mean "Dollar Gets You Delivered!"
So, you'll get your third party app stores, but then wait a year and those third party app stores will start charging a commission, either based on net rev or based off a percentage of each sale.
But yeah, compromise the entire ecosystem so you can download TikTok SOMEWHERE ELSE.
