I like to think of it like a defense mechanism. By ensuring old abandoned software won’t work, you don’t have to worry about it having a major security vulnerability. Any old software that still works probably isn’t abandoned.
No offense, but that sounds a lot like apple and Microsoft arguing against freedom of the user.
“Installing an app from outside the app store could introduce a security vulnerability”
“We must have edge installed at all times to provide a good user experience. Replacing such a central part of the operating system could weaken the security of the device”
