Why should Apple be forced to include an app store on THEIR operating system? If they want to be the gatekeeper of all their software, it is on them as a private company to do so.

It is likely beneficial for society as a whole for iOS to allow alternative app stores, but that doesn't make it right for the government to force them to do so.

If the citizens of a particular country want to force Apple to allow alternative app stores, they can. It's their country. Apple can ignore their market if they don't like the rules.
