Developers won't leave the App Store if Apple are offering good value to them and their customers.
If Apple stops offering good value (fair policies, commissions), then Apple should be "punished" by losing business.
Offering competing stores provides a strong incentive for Apple to make theirs even better. Developers would win and consumers would win. The only "loser" would be Apple (at least as far as short term financials are concerned).

If Apple is offering better discovery, consumer protections, policies and support, then they should have the better store experience. For the record, I think they are offering the best experience at present (by a long shot). That isn't guaranteed going forward though, and I believe competition here would be healthy.
