Good news! You can still only use Apple's app store, and not worry about this supposed garbage that will be everywhere. Because Apple will still be curating and vetting all the apps in their store, you have nothing to worry about.

Not when Microsoft makes their own App Store and moves their apps to it, then Meta, Epic, TikTok, X (Twitter), Netflix, Amazon, and you get the idea. It's going to be just like the streaming video mess that we have now.

And I still prefer the streaming video mess to the cable company monopoly we had before. Which is what Apple is in this analogy.

Also I doubt other stores are going to charge a subscription fee like streaming services do. So there's nothing wrong with having multiple stores.

Things that didn't happen on Android: that.

You're mindlessly repeating Apple's bullshit.

And also hiding your app in search results behind a list of junk unless you pay Apple extra. Which is pretty much extortion.

That and their curation and vetting process turned into complete garbage over the last few years.
