South Korean local Android app market does all that, with 20% fee. Competition is in fact beneficial, both for consumers and publishers.

You can't have competition in a single ecosystem and have all those qualities because some consumers will be tricked into using some app store that looks legit and isn't. And as you point out, Android is a competitor and the Android stores compete with Apple's store. Just buy a different phone.

Apple is really good at reviewing apps. Why don't they review app store apps? Because they want to artificially suppress competition.
