This suggests you do not understand what "monopoly" means.

Apple's iOS model is a feature, not a bug. If you are unhappy with the app rules there, or with Apple being the curator of what's available, then iOS isn't for you.

Apple is more like a government regulating a market. Going somewhere else is possible in theory, but in practice not really.

Apple is a minority of phone sales and market share everywhere in the world.

Going somewhere else isn't just possible in practice, but it's the default no matter where you are.
