   Speaking of bad manners, the point of this offshoot is about good & bad.   
      
   1. Only iOS *locks* every installer to a specific unique ID.   
   2. This is bad for two reasons, one of which is it prevents reuse.   
   3. The other reason it's bad is Apple uniquely is tracking app metadata.   
      
   Apple (yet again) brazenly lied about being more private than Android.   
   Apple gets away with these lies because their customer is rather ignorant.   
      
   Even so, the average Android user likely doesn't know these basic facts.   
   A. Only Android *always* auto-saves the original installer on the device.   
   B. Which is good (because it allows re-use on billions of other devices).   
      
   In summary, only Android saves the original installer on the device.   
   And that's good.   
      
   And only iOS locks every app installer to a unique specific user.   
   And that's bad.
