Not parent, but I'm not afraid that people would prefer alternative app stores, I'm afraid that developers will hang shady incentives and dark patterns into getting users to prefer them...
Look at the "choice" we got when Epic opened up their own game launcher/store. It created all these awful exclusives on those platforms and ultimately people still picked the terrible Epic experience (buggy launcher, crashes, etc.) just to get those games. That isn't consumer choice... that is developer choice by incentive/price discrimination/exclusivity.
