FACT:
a. There are zillions of torrent apps on the official Android app store.
b. There are zero on the official iOS app store.

FACT:
c. Same can be said about _many_ app functionalities.

OBSERVATION:
d. The iKooks claim otherwise - but -
e. They never come up with even a _single_ app that fits their claims.

In other words, the fact remains that there are _many_ app functionalities
that are easily available to non-rooted users of all of the common consumer
platforms... except iOS.

The question is why.
