After DMA, Apple must allow app sideloading. They may decide not to host Epic Games Store in App Store, but I don't think they will be allowed to block them from running their own store with sideloading.
Of course, Apple can try to circumvent but that's a blatant violation of DMA and there will be serious retaliation. EU already has given a warning[1]. Perhaps it's good to remind that Apple could've been in a better position with all the USB-C situation if they didn't insult EU congressman with laughter[2]... I don't think Tim's going to repeat the same mistake.
