Continuing with the actual garden analogy, that's like trying to compete with the garden itself by planting your own flowers and the garden making it ugly with weeds. The point Apple and Google are making is that Google's walled garden is Android, as Apple's walled garden is iOS, and the app stores are simply features of those products, and thus to compete with them you need to compete with the entire product. And whether or not that's actually the case is currently being decided in Epic v Apple.
