Try to install a BitTorrent client on your iphone, or a game emulator, a sexually explicit game or even a browser with a different engine.

But you could work around it at the software level.

With this tech stack, you wouldn't be able to.


Work around how? As a developer?

I'm sure there will be developer options for this too. After all, Microsoft is not going to make all the software themselves.

But they could restrict this too. For a lot of platforms you now have to sign up for a developer account and license agreement. Like on iOS, Oculus Quest..
