Is this true for Android? I guess rooting is a _bit_ of a problem, but otherwise you could do run alternative stores? I mean it's hard to actually make money off of that, of course.
For iOS it's essentially impossible, from my understanding. But there's stuff on android to let you install apps, after all?

And if you want your users to install your app store, they'll have to know where to go and tell the OS "I want this installed, it's not malware". And every time any single app through there requires an update, it must be manually approved and installed by the user. Google's evergreen background updates are exclusive to them. And if Google Play Protect decides you store is malware because it distributes apps that Google thinks harms users, any user with (the heavily pushed) Google Play Protect turned on likely won't be using your store for long. But it is technically possible.
