There's actually a good case to be made in that favor.
Letting Apple strangle thousands of app developers and prevent business cases that would actually find customers from being implemented because of restrictive app store rules does not result in a single additional employment at Apple, but only in a few more billions of revenue at Apple and maybe a few more billions of fantasy market cap.
However, doing the opposite would strengthen these thousands of market participants, allow them to implement business cases that aren't feasible with a 30% Apple tax or due to other arbitrary store restrictions, and to do that, lots of people must be employed. High-skilled people with high salaries.
If the primary goal is to strengthen your actual, real economy, not pushing the stock market, I would root for the latter approach, not the former.
