> If there were alternatives you wouldn't be forecd to use them.

That's just not true. If App Developers choose to only release their app on one store then i am forced to use that store.

Say this Apple loses this battle and are forced to let companies run their own Stores on iOS. What's to stop a company like Facebook moving their suite of apps to exclusively be distributed through their own Store, which conveniently bypasses the App Review process, severely undermining user privacy. If i wanted to keep using these popular apps to communicate with my friends I'd have no choice but to use their alternative Store.

Then I'll switch to Android

Which store they would use is obviously the developer's decision. Do you complain that you have to go to website X or the Steam Store to get some program instead of the Windows Store as well? Also nobody forces you to use that one app. You don't have a right to use the app, with a possible exception for you having bought the app in the past on that other store.
