    Mac does it now too. But they do it because they are anti-competitive and want to make you use the Mac app Store. They need to be broken up.

        It has of course nothing to do with the enormous amount of money they rake through their app store by squeezing both the developers and the users.

        Why would they try to force people to only use the store by implementing more and more security features along the way!?

        It’s a mystery!

          But they don’t force you. I installed Pianoteq 8 downloading it from the official site, not the App Store. All it asks is your touchID or the password.

          Because users, largely, are stupid.

          Security usually comes at the price of inconvenience.

          You’re not forced to use the app store by any means and if you find it difficult not to, then you’re probably the type of user they want to protect.
