A lot can be improved in the situation with iOS and its accessibility, but as long as Apple are in a good spot in the market, they don’t really have a reason to change anything.
And for the most part, their regular users don’t really care about jailbreaking or the scene that surrounds it, so Apple won’t lose reputation in their eyes due to their current actions.
We’re curious to see if the security of iOS will get cracked in the next months, as otherwise this could set a brand new precedent, putting the operating system in a very interesting spot. It may be beneficial for it in the long run, but it could also be a disastrous situation, depending on how most fans are going to respond.
Perhaps, with enough pressure from their users, Apple will finally cave and implement some official jailbreaking features in the operating system, putting an end to the debate once and for all. While we don’t see them going all the way and completely unlocking the system in all its aspects, there is definitely a lot that they can do to make their users happy while at the same time retaining the level of control that they need to have as a whole.
There is a lot of time to go in the current life of iOS 10, so we’ll have to wait and see.
