That's not a gotcha. It's literally what people want in iOS and already have an alternative available that they can choose.
Apple-bad people want to remove the choice.
I don't get it. Obviously apple is the one that's removing choice everywhere they can
I, and almost all of Apple's user base, chose the walled garden for very real reasons. We literally paid extra for it. The choice between Apple's walled garden and Android or other alternatives comes at a premium that we want.
The destruction of that walled garden through ill-conceived EU regulation and lawsuits by actually evil corporations, removes the choice. There will only be the shitty android-like experience that we chose to avoid in the first place.
Apple is a "it just works" ecosystem that we bought into because we prefer it. Privacy and security are paramount with Apple products. This Apple-bad crew doesn't give a shit about actual Apple customers.
