I hope all of the publicity this gets will somehow bring more attention to how much control Apple exerts over the iOS app ecosystem, and maybe bring change there.

I think developers should be able to distribute their apps outside of the App Store if they want, just like on macOS and Android, but Apple is allowed to have this much control because the iPhone doesn't represent the majority of the market, so they aren't as subject to monopoly/antitrust stuff.

I can still hope that Apple will open up their mobile platform further, one day.
