Freedom of speech and assembly, security in one’s person and affects, freedom of movement/transportation, even prohibition against slavery (even though that will be a bit too abstract for most), etc.

Google isn't the government, so the first amendment doesn't apply. Security in one's person and affects? The OP still has possession of their apps. Google is just deciding it won't sell them for the user.
And prohibition against slavery? It's both laughable and deeply offensive to consider this situation even remotely similar to chattel slavery.
If there were more competition, there would also be alternatives that companies like in the subject case could choose from and which would deter companies from making mistakes in order to prevent loss of market share.
A good measure should be that anything should have more than 3 equal competitors, is 4+ search engine companies of equal scale, 4+ App marketplaces for 4+ phone OS/hardware makers, that can operate on 4+ telecom services, etc.
And that transfer of data and services between each must be effortless.
We don’t need new legislation that will not be enforced or is flawed because it is too specific and myopic, we need enforcement of basic and fundamental law and concepts that expand freedom and choice and our fundamental human rights.
Submit to our every tech company dictate whim or we will destroy everything you have worked for and not be able to work in your industry ever again or feed yourself is not freedom and is a crime against humanity.
