Google Play is a dumpster fire compared to the App Store, and despite alternative app stores as competition still charges 30%.

  As opposed to Apple, Google doesn't mandate that your payments go through the store. You could as well do your own payment processing.

    Right, Apple has a unified purchasing system that makes the entire purchasing process (including subscription management and app refunds) easier and more trustworthy for iPhone users.

      Google also offers that. My point is that choice is good.

        My point is allowing alternate stores means allowing more malware, fraud-ware and worse purchasing experiences for platform customers.

          Allowing a web browser also means allowing phishing and "worse purchasing experience". Again, if a company wants The Google Experience™, it can use it for 30% of its income. If it does not, it's free to use whatever payment provider it wants.
