The development of the crypto ecosystem faces a structural limit by depending on corporately controlled mobile infrastructures. The dominant narrative mistakenly assumes building decentralized software is enough, ignoring privative distribution. Consequently, the Apple App Store review guidelines explicitly restrict essential native mechanisms.
