Well it doesn't help those who cannot afford an overpriced Apple computer. Most people are only on a phone.
For those unaware nostr:npub1tltf8es60957eawprkl4ecs2akkpe6n3wgt4tvphj4vef0mqvxasv6ve7g has created a side loaded version of Damus for iPhone that retains zaps. The process is not overly technical and it works great.

yeah this is unfortunate. And true about all the sideload w/o jail break solutions I’m aware of.
I don’t like the fact it takes government to push them, hopefully in 2024 eu forces apple to allow official side-loading, I suspect their retort might require devs to pay for a pricy certificate like on the Mac, and “open anyways” buttons. But it shouldn’t require multiple apple products.
