I meant Valve didn't want Steam to be flooded with low quality games (back in the day) which would interest nobody and would only turn away people from Steam.

>I'd fine with Apple just curating their App Store; I am not fine with them deciding what software I can run on "my" device.

Yea that's horrible, that's why Microsoft and Windows are great when speaking about PC industry and comparing it to the iOS and iPhones.

I personally only use Android for the same reason why I only use Windows and that is Android and Windows are open operating systems and I can install whatever I want.

In the desktop world, all major OSes are similar in this regard. I can install whatever I want on my Mac laptop, and of course on my Linux computers.

Really iOS is the outlier in the major computing platforms in how much of a walled garden it is.
