Apple

Probably there should be alternatives. But Android has that and I don't see any good that came out of it. The experience of 3rd party stores are sub par and I'm being generous. Google is not setting the standards high anyway. All I'm saying is that when Apple is doing a totally good job (I'm a through and through Android user btw, just have developed apps on iOS) there could be a risk of becoming lenient. 3rd party stores drive the pricing model share down resulting in Apple just pulling out necessary resources required to maintain what they are doing today. iOS users can afford the premium and I believe they should get the very best service in that regard. It could go both ways but we already have a use case in Android ecosystem where it's woefully incompetent which includes the playstore.
