You still can. All these "stores" are meant to make software as accesible as possible. Yes, they have veto power when it comes to what is allowed in their stores, but you can always download stuff the old fashioned way.

Android yes, Apple no. Though god knows, Google gives me an ominous sense of foreboding these days.

fuuuuu, stop using words that I needed to look up in the dictionary, twice, to be sure what you meant.

You learned something today. Be happy about it.

Oh, and to keep on the topic:

the app store Cheesy

By the way app stores are sending the Internet back to the dark ages with extreme censorship when they become the only "official" means of obtaining software and other content on a platform. Apple's app store is among the worst in this respect.

Jailbreaking. Wink
Buy android devices  Wink

Anyway, what ArticMine said is right, these "stores" aren't a good thing. appstore, microsoft store, steam, they decide what can and cannot be sold on their store. Ah the good old time where you would just type an URL and download a software  Cheesy
