I'm with you on this... and then remember the many useful tools that are only available outside the app store.

BTW, Have you seen the app store catalog for macOS on apple silicon? Still very sparse.

Trusting one company to provide the whole stack is not necessarily practical, even for the average user.

If your phone is a central part of your IT job (you mention tools), then you need flexibility. But if you're like me any just use it as a phone, casual web browser, and messenger device, freedom is no value. I'm confident all the basic important stuff will be available and if it's not, I don't really care anyway. I don't want to have to think about or manage my phone. I want it to just do its basic job and get out of my way. I think a lot of people are like this.
