A simple regulation that would fix this without overbearing price controls is to require manufacturers to allow users to sideload their own app stores.

But the platform still requires code signing from Apple for code to run and must still abide by all existing Apple policy including entering into a contract with Apple that 30% of all revenue from your app on iOS is paid to them.

However, you still require Apple code signing for the app to run and for that your app must go through the regular App Store approval process.
