Future is already there on PC: Steam, Epic, EA and zillion other stores - it sucks. In China there are hundreds of Android stores - it also sucks.

Ok, and when the bill passes it will be their for smartphones as well, and people will be able to install whatever app store on their android or iPhone.

> it sucks

Then don't install the app stores that you don't like, lol. Problem solved. Only use Apple's, if that is what you prefer.

You are free to not use other app stores, correct.

Don't use app stores that you don't like.

Not free enough to buy a phone with only one supported app store - this option is too good so needs to be illegal.

Meanwhile Librem 5 and Pinephone can provide freedom today but need cash, userbase and apps.

You can simply only install the Apple App store... There is nothing stopping you from having a phone that has exactly as many app stores as you want on it.

You can have your phone that only uses the apple app store.

I cannot have phone with all apps in one and only store.

I do not want to deal with apps moving between stores or any other stores at all.

Nothing you wrote addresses that.
