Apple definitely can do more for iOS user security beyond App Store review, and much casual commentary overlooks that. Not to mention, given how the EU seems to be fairly pro-consumer protection, alternative app store guidelines will probably be subject to regulator scrutiny as well. A lot of the doomsday scenarios about Facebook creating an app store to invasively track people seem to forget that regulators don't like that, nor their respective monopolistic practices, either. I don't think they'll be able to get away with creating an user-tracking scammy app store and then taking their existing ubiquitously-used apps off of the official App Store without drawing the ire of the EU.
