> Your own situation wouldn't be different if you had alternatives to Apple's store.

I respectfully disagree with this statement. I think an analogous situation would be the launch of Disney+: it used to be possible to watch Disney series on Netflix, but after Disney decided to launch Disney+, these series were pulled from Netflix to push the adoption of Disney+. For a Netflix user, their situation would very much be affected by Disney+ existing.

Yeah, users have very little choice when it comes to where to get software and so "choice" in Apple's garden doesn't actually translate to user choice but developer/publisher choice since users will have to buy from wherever the software is sold.
