I think you are underrating the power of Meta. There are 3.84 billion Meta users[1] and 1.65 billion Apple users[2]. [1] - https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/

  Then it could be argued that if Meta forcibly takes away their apps away from the App Store (or from the Play Store for that matter) then either: 1. Regulators would make a beeline to inspect such a third party app store/the sideloadable binaries they present for irregularities, illicit tracking, data violations, etc. 2. Slap them with anti-competitive monopolistic behavior by engaging in the highly disruptive act of depriving the main App/Play Store users of their apps. Thus, they would be forced by regulator action to host their apps on both their stores and official stores. Regulators aren't too keen on Meta these days, they're not too keen on Big Tech in general, this isn't a vendetta against Apple.
