But those "alternatives app stores" can never do the things Play Store can, like automatic installing/updating apps without user needing to click "Install" for each one. (which gets quite annoying)

Google could've made it possible but did not, that's monopoly.

What percentage of Android phones out there will be able to install and run Android 12 without needing to be hacked?
