BS, nobody wants to sideload another app store. If they want to pay for sketchy software they get it off a dark web site and sideload that. Even if you wanted to install recreational_drugstore.app to have the convenience of a wraparound consumer experience for designer dugs, would you really want a dark web originated app hooked up to your crypto wallet or fiat payment methods?
Get real, Apple's target demo is upper-middle class people who want a frictionless computing experience - the kind of people whose response to a massive avoidable security fail would be litigation and political/regulatory action.
That's not true. There are plenty of other stores on Android.

Who wants another payment method? When something doesn't offer Apple Pay it's a huuugggee pain and a good reason to find something else.
Nah, they're worried someone might sideload a software with payment method that doesn't give them cut
