As you mention two companies I can only assume the other is Google and android. Which I find odd as I have multiple other appstores and repositories on my phone and every other android device I have owned. My phones and tablets usually come with not just the Google Play Store, but also the manufacturers app store, and I install fdroid on all my android devices, and have in the past installed the Amazon app store on my phones back when Amazon and Google were having a spat over audible book sales and you breifly couldn't buy books on the Google hosted version of audible. So I don't see the problem. There are many third party app stores on the android half of the marker if you as a developer dont like the terms for using Google Play, then list you app on another storefront with more agreeable terms or your own webpage.

It would be more competitive if it worked like software sources under Linux whereby you can use a singular interface to manage software from different sources.
