Obviously there’s a spectrum of scenarios.
In the 80s and 90s breaking up AT&T local loop unbundling made a huge positive change in telco in the us.
Requiring the power company to rent pole space has a positive benefit.
I think the App Store is more like a utility pole than a Walmart. Forcing Apple to unbundle the infrastructure of delivery, payment and signing would allow for competitive forces and innovation.
The AppStore is all built around PKI. My company already operates an internal enterprise store — the metaphor exists. It would be pretty straightforward to evolve it into something different and arguably better.
