As opposed to all the other stores that ... charge 30% or so, but don’t host free software as well?

Seriously, I need someone to explain what makes this any different from The google store or consoles? I mean aside from consoles not supporting free (as in price) software either

On an Android phone I can just use F-Droid or install an apk I downloaded from anywhere. That's not the case with an iPhone. Not sure about consoles.

Android has the ability to side-load, as well as install other app stores.

IOS has a complete monopoly on their mobile vertical.
