App store regulation would be industry-wide. They've been targeted by Epic and others, but I'm assuming that's because the number of devices and market share make them the first target.
It would be interesting to propose alternatives that support running unsigned or alternatively signed binaries. For example, if a Windows user is tricked into running malware, how do they address the issue with Microsoft? Are there ways consumers can get a live person to connect to their PC and walk them through fixing the issue? Or is that an additional fee? If we tell all device manufacturers, including game console vendors, to add a software switch that allows us to install our own binaries or point to any repo we want, we should expect vendors to provide basically the same experience.
