I kinda fear that Apple might turn evil and start banning apps from the app store
I don’t know what rock you’ve been living under, but I’ve been using iOS since day one and Apple has been banning apps left and right this entire time. Most just don’t make it on in the first place. Sometimes they sneak hidden features in though like so: https://www.imore.com/game-boy-emulator-sneaks-app-store-disguised-messaging-app

It more like I bought into the peer pressure of getting Apple devices so I started looking past their unethical practices. The apps they ban weren't really the type of apps I'd use. What I'm concerned is that Apple one day just start banning ad-blockers, maybe ban VLC and cite piracy as a justification, banning encryption apps like signal, or banning VPNs (which they did in China, but I don't live there so I kinda ignored it). They hadn't done any of that yet so I just didn't think too much about it, but now I kinda randomly started thinking about it and I switched to Android.

They have the operating system so locked down there aren’t any ad blockers anyways unless you use Safari

Brave on iOS works fine last I used, which was yesterday.

I was actually mistaken, and it’s worse than I realized. You can’t use ad guard in Safari anymore: https://www.zdnet.com/article/apple-neutered-ad-blockers-in-safari-but-unlike-chrome-users-didnt-say-a-thing/
