Yes. For instance if people could install the Steam store on their phones, gamers would do so in droves and Apple don’t want people to be given that choice.
That would cut into their ability to tax and control all commerce happening on the user’s device, which to be clear, is not Apple’s property.
The monopolistic AppStore we’re forced to use is a BS arrangement and Apple is just afraid of what real competition would bring.
