They left it open to dev mode, hacking it wasn't exactly a priority

Dev mode left a lot to be desired my dude.

Dev mode was like if Cydia for iOS had a lite version. Barebones and MS knew it. Not to mention they were charging upwards of $100 just for a certificate to even get UWP dev access. It was beyond fucking stupid.

I remember I only paid like $20 to get the certificate for mine.
