So long as keeping 70% of 100 sales is better than keeping 100% of 50 sales, I just can't see competing app stores getting big.

I don't assume it would fix all problems. I just assume it would force Apple to move to a slightly more developer/consumer friendly model.

Also, in a lot of cases, the choice is 100% of 0 sales because Apple just won't let you in their store.

For an example of what a third party app store would look like, check out Cydia app store (the main way to get apps on your jailbroken phone). There are a ton of useful apps in there.
