So in your opinion seeing an advertisement for an app on an app store is much worse than seeing an ad in your app launcher UI that you click on every time you go to launch an app?
Devoid of additional context, the latter would be worse, but in this context, I cannot avoid the former while using iOS, while I pretty easily avoid the latter while using Windows. (At least, to date. I don't run preview/insider builds of Windows.)
Maybe there's some MDM that can be practically used to manage personal/household iOS app installs without the App Store? Happy to take suggestions there.
