There’s a legal avenue for this kind of thing too: pass laws that enforce clear and transparent rules around what the gatekeeper can do and give legal recourse to participants to hold said gatekeeper accountable if they break them.

But it's still like putting the coal companies in charge of the EPA. You can add laws and mandates to try to tie their hands, but they're going to push the boundaries as much as they possibly can.

You could have app approvals go through some truly public, government-run agency... except frankly I'd object to that too on free-speech grounds.
