I think that 30% is much less important to them when compared to epic/tencent attempt to get their own stores.

Epic already has their own store on androids, yet they still publish on the play store.

Apple could allow 3rd party app stores knowing very well that they’ll be barely used

They'll be widely used if even one big app (like gmail, facebook, or whatsapp) require use of a third party store.

A service could do a gradual shift to a third party store by saying "you must use a third party store for new installations only", and your users will migrate slowly as they get new devices.

Well, Tencent is the company to whom Apple granted an exemption. So far, only one on record.
