It really surprises me that it takes so long. This has been a talking point at least since 2018 [1]. 5 years and nothing has changed.
How is that possible, and acceptable?
Secondly, why is it so difficult to use other App stores for mobile? why section 4.5 of [2] exist at all?
As a user I really really would like to be able to install any app store I like. I do not like that Google play stored is installed by default, while there are so many hurdles to install f-droid.
It all looks like monopolistic actions that are against the law. I feel that we are repeating history. Microsoft has already gone through processes with bundling up of Internet Explorer.
