This is too simplistic. Linux distributions like Ubuntu provide both the OS and the apps and services. One could argue that the OS is the apps and services. Yet we see neither a monopoly there, nor complaints.

Which leads me to believe that what you're proposing is not addressing the root cause.

There are complaints in the Linux world too, about package management (e.g. the push to snaps), they’re just less relevant since the platform is fully open anyway and there is no economic impact.
