    I’m confused is there a limit to which app stores I can install on my android phone right now because last time I checked there wasn’t.

      This is apparently partially about exclusive deals that bar app developers from putting their apps on additional third party app stores.

        Oh right like how Apple is going to maintain its monopolistic advantage in the EU - if you want to list your app on a “third party” store and the Apple one, you have to pay the blood sacrafice for both the app on the apple store and off it.

        Edit: so I’m pretty sure this means if you want to be on the apple app store in the US, you don’t have a choice in the EU
