Having the ability to install non-Apple-approved applications doesn't remove your ability to install Apple-approved applications.

I wonder though if non-Apple stores will lead to fragmentation. Apps on the App Store will flee and there will be a whole host of app stores. Sort of like Hulu/Netflix/Disney/HBO/etc. with television.

Suddenly the apps you had come to expect on the App Store are not there now.

That hasn't happened on Android. Using a third party store (a la F-Droid) or side loading in Android is very much a niche feature used only by the relatively tech savvy. Why would iOS be different?
