It merely being possible to install dodgy apps means that it is something that people would then have to worry about. They have to worry that their kids will follow instructions on a website and install viruses or bypass parental controls.

Consumers already have the choice of installing any store they want by buying and Android device. If you make iPhones open like Android then you have taken away the choice of buying a secure locked down device.
