> It doesn't need to be like the current situation, with Apple in full control over everything.
Yes it does. Because otherwise you will need to install tons of app stores to install all the apps you currently use.
For instance, I would have to install the Epic store to install Fortnite. Now that’s two apps (the store app plus Fortnite app) and then I’d be less confident about the level of quality and security that the added store provides.
It is this particular situation that seems very hard to overcome from a regulatory perspective. So one you allow multiple app stores, the specialness that people like me have for our trusted devices disappears.
