> * Apple does not allow other App Stores on their platform

As a consumer, I see that as a feature not a bug. On the Switch, Play Station and Xbox I don't have other stores I can use as well. I don't see how this is a problem as much as it is a feature. The fact that Android allows more than one store is much closer to how a Windows PC allows the user to install apps from anywhere. iOS isn't trying to replicate the PC experience, its not nearly as general purpose as Windows or even macOS.
