If this is really a problem for you, here's a solution:
1. Get a Nexus phone.
2. Flash to a custom ROM.
3. Don't flash Google Apps.
4. Sideload APKs or use an alternative store.
5. Enjoy.
The reason you can't have everything is that the app devs and most people prefer the store situation. If this is a particular problem for you, there will be sacrifices.
