Imagine if 30% of your A/C electricity bill went to Nikola Telsa Inc. and the internet was filled with people telling you it's not a monopoly because you have the option of D/C. The same people claim the app store is this magically perfect service that provides infinite value for both developers and users. If that's the case no one would choose to use a 3rd party app store, so having the option would make no difference. The reality IMO is that developers would try to flock to an app store with better terms and users would cling to the existing model. To me, a fantastic outcome would be if Apple gets forced to allow developers to inform users they can pay for subscriptions outside the app store and to charge +30% to people that still want to use the app store. Then all the users defending Apple can put their money where their mouth is. Then add in competing app stores that don't take a 30% cut and all of a sudden you'll have "dedicated" Apple users flocking to the new stores to save a buck.
