It benefits the end customer by giving him/her freedom. Freedom to enhance the experience or to kinda mess it up btw. But still freedom. The risk well if the person is stupid and install shady ass apps then you can imagine the risks. Although I’m sure Apple will still restrict the possible effects on the OS/phone I guess. iOS will still be “closed” compared to android. Not allowed because Apple knows that most people know nothing about tech, risks and are plain dumb. So it’s easier to restrict to avoid issues than to open possibilities. When I was younger I had a jailbroken iPhone and tbh it helped me a lot at some point (I broke the mute switch and I was able to download a JB app for $1 to replicate the mute switch, wasn’t possible natively) and enhanced the experience (multi tasking before it was possible, all apps for free and so on). Nowadays I just don’t care though
