Even if apple is less powerful, nobody will be forced to download Facebook or fortnite, and you can instead continue to just use the apple app store. Apps will continue to be added that meet apple's expectations because people trust spending money there.

If your worry was founded, these apps already wouldn't be on Apple devices because they'd be androind-only

The mega corps are angling for marketing dollars (ad spend) and those with marketing dollars want the audiences with “wallet share” and when split that way, those audiences are something like 85% iOS, 15% Android.

This means the megacorps “have to” play nice on iOS in order to serve up monied audiences to their advertisers.
