I'm not an Android user, but aren't third party app stores allowed on Android? https://www.androidauthority.com/best-app-stores-936652/ https://www.androidauthority.com/best-app-stores-936652/ They're probably not great places to try and grow your userbase based on the number of users compared to the Play Store, but they exist.

> They're probably not great places to try and grow your userbase based on the number of users Cca 2012 there were thriving, competing stores then Google shut that shit down. They got sued and lost, but the competing stores were dead, never to recover.

  I don't know if they are dead, on my Samsung Galaxy I usually download apps from the Samsung store not from the Playstore.

  F-Droid is still around, as is Amazon's thing.

Maybe courts can force phone manufacturers to include those stores just like they forced Microsoft to include other browsers on Windows. Without that, people are always going to stick to the default store.
