In what way is any of this intended to bring competition into the mobile space? By letting some entrants provide alternative app distribution?

The only plausible outcome of this is that Apple reduces their involvement in Europe (it’s already happening with features in the latest iOS that aren’t coming to European users) at which point Google will become the only software vendor. Congrats?

You had me at mobile OSes, but the majority of phones sold in Europe are produced and sold by companies in China and Korea.

You can't see why making companies abide by anti-competition laws would make the mobile space more competitive?

The only plausible outcome is Apple stops it's anti-competitive practices globally. I don't know why you're singling out the EU because the US is doing the exact same thing.
