Instead of trying to compare to other totally different products, do the comparison to Android. Has any 3rd party appstore affected play store in any way? No. Start your argument from that fact.

Yes. Fortnite isn't on the play store.

And it's not in apple appstore neither, so clearly the reason is not the fact that non-playstore apps can be installed.

fortnite was in the app store until epic game's account was terminated for terms-of-service violations, so whatever point you're trying to make here isn't correct.

The original argument was that 3rd party appstores would somehow affect the main appstore quality. And that argument is bs as Android demonstrates. So, please read the discussion and only comment once you understand the topic.
