You have it completely backwards. Mobile phones rarely had 3rd party downloads until Apple created that market through the App Store.
It’s a retail markup with retailer restrictions for a captive market, which isn’t exactly new. It is a very well known and practiced economic model for 40+ years.
You’re free to try to declare it illegal (I think this would be a disaster) but thankfully I think the congress and EU might have bigger fish to fry.
