I respect people's right to use apple products, but please stop asserting "privacy", big corps doesn't give a shit.
Assuming there will still be a way for devs to run apps without store BS. Won't this just push users to run the apps the same way? All they're threatening with is that they will no longer provide updates or security screening or something, which will be even better for backward compatibility. If this forces enough users to learn enough devops just this once to enter the paradise that is free from corporate security theatre you bet your ass they're not going back
