So, in other words, inconveniencing them.

We all have a different idea of what a high salary is but I would suggest anything in the area of $100k or the equivalent is good in almost any part of the world.

That said, I have a good salary which has risen by a little less than 65% in the 10 years I’ve been in the same job. I realise that’s not typical but changing jobs isn’t always the only way to a high salary.

That’s not my experience. I recently got in touch with them about some Jabra earbuds that were just over two years old and had developed a fault. I was prepared to quote the UK consumer rights act to them, but it wasn’t necessary. They refunded them immediately and said I didn’t need to bother returning them.

You’re missing my point. If side loading and alternate app stores offer a bad experience it doesn’t need to affect you. Just don’t use them and you will continue to have the same ‘walled garden’ experience that you currently enjoy. If other users choose to use them and have a bad experience, that’s their choice!

How so? If you don’t want to side load, then don’t. Others having the ability to do so doesn’t mean it needs to affect you…

My aunt just got a new car - her previous car was a 2004 Rover 25. Almost 20 years old and it was ULEZ compliant. If you’re ‘poor’ but still need to own and drive a car, there are plenty of cheap vehicles that meet the standard!

…but it’s not treating them as two individuals. It’s treating them as a family unit and insisting that the person immigrating to the UK can be supported by their spouse.

I see your point and in an ideal world, perhaps you’d be right. With a finite amount of resources, however, it’s simply not realistic.
