Pro-consumer policies should be embraced by the populist right. It’s a natural extension of populism to support stuff like right-to-repair or allowing users to run whatever code they want on machines that they own. However, between the chamber of commerce wing of the GOP and the LOLbertarian influence, the right seems really reluctant to embrace pro-consumer policies.
I do think that iOS users should be able to sideload apps like you can on Android. It’s important because Apple and Google use their duopoly App Store status to push censorship and allowing users to bypass the app stores is a good first step in countering that.
