Well, there is advantages in Android approach too: as far I remember in App Store there is no emulators thanks to the stricter policies of Apple, while Play Store have genuine emulators for tons of gaming consoles. And you can also sideload apps without needing of jailbreak, allowing the use of interesting apps that for some reason is not allowed in Play Store (for example, NewPipe, a alternative YouTube client with tons of extra features).
