>if Apple allowed sideloading then you're experience would be 100% identical
1) Apple allows sideloading, you still can use Cydia, they just don't help you with that.
2) No, because read my post carefully:
> As for apple, yes it asks for 30% fee, and it builds a walled garden. But they also offer what others don't: 8 years of support. I'm totally agree to have a walled garden (convenient enough for me), if I could use my phone for 8 years instead of 2-3 as in the Android case.
Not only does Apple not help you with installing Cydia, they actively prevent you from doing so using technological measures they do not intend for you to bypass.
They are obliged to not add software protections that I cannot bypass because it prevents me from installing whatever software I like even if I do exactly what you just mentioned.

No. Learn how incentives work.
