Actually a lot of that bad stuff billionaires are doing is enabled by MIT licensed software. Like, device lockdown is illegal with GPL3

Device lockdown is why our biggest billionaires are billionaires. It's how they made their money and still make it.

If Apple starts allowing sideloading apps they'll still get at least 95% of their revenue today.
Just look at the s***show on Android.

Allowing sideloading is not remotely the same as "losing 30% of cut of all transactions".
