I like the fact I can more or less assume security. I really like the fact that my mum can. Any way of unlocking your phone for sideloading seems almost bound to be an avenue for scammers to talk people into installing malware.
But when a platform is so widespread, I don't think "they can charge whatever they like" is necessarily great.
It's difficult because you want the market dynamic (if they charge too much, we'll just take our app elsewhere and people will move to that platform) to be present in at least some way, but at the same time the real world isn't that simple.
