> Apple has always been far more controlling than Microsoft
How so? Both MacOS and Windows for years had a completely unhindered app installation process. Though it was much simpler on MacOS because you didn't need a custom installer, and you could easily move apps from one computer to another.
I don’t see why this is downvoted. It’s simply true that since the original MacOS the Mac was less controlling of software installation than Windows before gatekeeper and the App Store.
It’s completely reasonable to argue that this is no longer true, but it’s denial to say that it has always been this way.
