I wouldn't call that the "wrong direction."
What you are suggesting is applying the same logic to App stores that they're applying to payments. That's more likely, not less, if this legislation goes through in SK and gets copied by other countries. So, same direction.
FWIW, I think payments are an easier place to make progress. It's hard to imagine an alternative app store taking off in response to a single countries' laws. Even if it did, a diverse app store market kind of negates the app store concept entirely. At that point, you may as well return to the old ways.
Alternative payment options will be immediately utilized by devs. The market can support lots of them, and prices will quickly respond to competition. If users and devs have choice, market prices will be nowhere near 30%. I'd be surprised if it's >10% for long.
