Android has plenty of free stores and with v12, those stores can also update apps automatically. It's going in the great direction.
I use 3 different stores on my phone for example.
Of course, an average person doesn't need that many. I use fdroid for sensitive apps (I can verify an app build there compared to playstore) and some developers provide apps without google services framework on froid as an alternative to their playstore version.
