The largest part of this protection is major companies not being exclusive on other app stores. If EA says all games must be downloaded from X, people are going to use X even if X doesn’t offer refunds of any kind etc.

For a lot of the world, they will not be able to say ‘no’ to a Facebook App Store. That’s the attack vector. Selling an ad-model based FB app on the FB App Store might have more reach than simply targeting iOS users.
If Zuck’s money is behind this, it’s a really good checkmate.
Where are the real journalists when you need them? We need a list of whoever is funding these lobbyists.
You can not use alternatives.
It's like pregnancy, if you wear protection, you can have safe sex. If you're scared protection isn't enough, you can not have sex and you won't get pregnant.
Ok wait that's a weird example that isn't supposed to be preachy but the point is you can always not use non-apple app stores and apple can still protect you.
