If BigCo controls the AppStore you are on rug territory. Doesn’t matter which company.

Good thing I can install any .apk from any source I want to with android...
Yes, that’s great and it works.
For now app store is the floodgates to the masses, and I don’t know of an alternative.
My man, there are like more alternative app stores for android than I can count on one hand. I disagree. It's just as easy to google an app you want as it is to search the same app on the play store. If an end user wants an app, all they need to is search for it. Where they search is irrelevant.
For you, and many on nostr its fine. For the average twitter, fb user I think you are asking too much.
An opportunity of nostr is making it so easy to install, receive zaps, zap that user does not know or care about what lightning or zaps are.
