Would iPhone users be worse off if they gained the ability to use multiple different app stores?

  Yes. They would lose the option to use one trusted store, and be forced to use set of different stores of varying different trust levels.

    Are you sure about that? Chinese phones use Chine app stores because Google products are banned in China, but outside of China 99% of apps are installed through the Play Store. Why would iOS be any different?

      Because iOS has a very profitable app ecosystem that deep pocketed competitors (such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon) would buy into. You can’t seriously imagine that at least these three plus TenCent/Epic wouldn’t create stores, likely within their existing Apps.
