This still doesn't solve the fact that Apple can control who gets to do business on the app store. Politically divisive apps, government blacklisted apps, gambling apps, adult oriented apps, crypto apps, free speech apps, certain vpn apps - none of these can currently exist with the Apple curated App Store approach. And just because those apps might not be for you doesn't mean millions and millions of users who have shelled out $1k+ for a phone don't want them on their fancy device they paid for.
Allowing sideloading as Android does would fix all these issues. Sideloading can start with a 3rd party app store, even.
