vbezhenar, for some reason there is no reply link visible in your commenr, so have to reply like this.

"It'll end up similarly to macOS AppStore. Developers will avoid it, so user will be forced to use other stores to make his phone useful."

So, kinda like on Androi... No, wait. It wont. Other stores will be in the margins likd on Android.

Have you seen the prompt you get when you install an app outside the play store, (and even worse give it permission to install other apps)?

Epic have made instructions on how to do it [0], it's a four step process to be able to install the game that involves changing two system default settings that both warn you not to do what you're about to do.
