I want a better iOS, not just an Android experience. Those are not the same thing.

Which is exactly the problem. That Apple has monopoly power over iOS apps.

> This law means they have to deal with multiple different stores

And in the same way I can choose Android, you can choose to use to continue to use Apple App Store only. Do you think Apple should be the only smartphone manufacturers because you don't want to deal with multiple OSes? No, because you're not being forced to use all of them.

Do you think if google makes google calendar only available from the google store that many people will have a choice?

Yes. You can choose to use Apple Calendar. Can I not go on the Apple App Store and search for Calendar and easily get 10+ results? Are you forced to use Google Calendar? No, but you can choose to.
