Would you use a mobile device with no App Store, where you could only use apps you wrote yourself?

I’ve been enjoying this discussion about why there’s no Linux distros for mobile and wondering about a device where your favourite dev environment was available, but there was no App Store. Probably a silly idea to be honest but I think I’d be able to create basic versions of most of the apps I routinely use.

Would you use such a device? Do you think it could be popular with devs?
