And if consoles are forced to allow alternative stores, we won't be able to buy these consoles at the current prices as they won't be subsidised anymore. Loss for consumers

I like both sides of the argument. I would want the Steam store in Xbox or PS. But making that probably will increase the cost of console as they cannot subsidise it.

Do you need the outside app to have access to bluetooth, location, storage etc? And if apple restricts the storage, then a company will sue apple again for the restrictions saying that the iOS photos app have unrestricted access to photos,

Then epic games, netflix, spotify and several other apps will have a tutorial on how to remove the lock, so that they can install the app or alternative appstores. And if apple makes it incredibly difficult to remove the lock, then company

make targeted advertising opt in. Make the opt in scary like how android enables the installation of apk's from unknown sources.

The precedent that would set if the Apple/Google is forced to distribute alternative app stores via App Store/Play store. No downloading the apk and turning on installation from Unknown Sources to install it. This would also enabl

Then apple will probably start charging for API requests between iphone and ios for apps that have implemented alternative payment options.
