I don't think so. There are many "YouTube downloader" type apps, and none of the others are blocked as far as I can tell.

I guess I'm too used to Android where you need to install a 3rd party APK.

Apple is a media company now. They aren't just distributing (like apple music) but are creating TV shows like Amazon and Netflix.

After you have the market, you want to close the gates so no one else can have it.

The hypocrisy is real and why I no longer buy apple products.
