I don't think anything will change for people who are still keen on this use case / business model.
But it's very dangerous to assume thay millions (maybe billions?) of iOS users around the world all fall into this bucket. Give people freedom, and see what they'll do with it.
Of course, on the other end of the spectrum you have people like me, who despise Apple, its philosophy, its business model and everything it has built in the past two decades, and have never purchased a single product or service from them.
But between the Apple fan boy and the FOSS purist who wouldn't touch them even with a 10 feet pole, there are many shades of gray. And you can never know what they really want until you give them the freedom of choosing it.
Apple so far has strongly opposed giving its users any form of freedom, leveraging the excuse of "everyone who uses Apple products likes our monopoly and our closed environment", and I'm happy to see this finally challenged and validated by the market.
