   I knew ahead of time you'd say that all functionality that all other   
   operating systems have is "not needed" & "not wanted" by iOS users.   
      
   I haven't even started to list the functionality that iOS can't do that all   
   other operating systems easily do - such as system-wide firewalls.   
      
   But you'll say that only iOS users feel firewalls are "not needed" & "not   
   wanted" because that's your excuse for why iOS can't do anything useful.   
      
   Given the system-wide firewall on Android is also a system wide ad blocker,   
   you'll say that only iOS users feel system-wide ad blocking is "not needed"   
   & "not wanted" because that's your excuse for why iOS can't do anything   
   useful.   
      
   Regarding that Android can always extract the installation APK to use on   
   any Android device - not just ones with your google account - and   
   especially noting how crippled the iOS IPA installation process is (given   
   iOS is almost completely brain dead in terms of using an IPA for multiple   
   devices, each with a different Apple ID), you'd say the ability to install   
   tools on an iOS device (particularly ones no longer in the app store) is   
   yet another functionality every other platform enjoys that is "not needed"   
   & "not wanted" on iOS as your fundamental excuse for why iOS can't do   
   anything useful in the real world.   
      
   If I mentioned that every other operating system except iOS has waveform   
   tools to help you debug your WI-Fi and cellular signal (if the device has   
   the appropriate radios, of course), again you'd say that nobody on iOS   
   every has a need to debug Wi-Fi or cellular and hence, such useful tools in   
   the real world are, in your mind, "not needed" & "not wanted" in the toy   
   world of the iOS user.   
      
   I could list more than a hundred rather useful things that everyone can   
   easily do except iOS users, and you'd say that useful things are "not   
   needed" and "not wanted" as your fundamental excuse for why iOS can't do   
   what every other operating system easily does.   
      
   All you're really saying is that the real world is not what iOS was   
   designed for, since iOS only works within limitations of the walled garden.   
      
   Apple designed iOS to be a toy operating system that only works within the   
   extreme limitations of the infamous Apple walled garden & not in the real   
   world.   
      
   And your own excuses aptly prove that iOS is exactly that. A toy.
