I’m not saying having other app stores on Android nor iOS lead/will lead to them being unavailable. I’m saying there needs to be an option with a single app store and set of services. Having multiple app stores on Apple and very easily installable would cause similar issues with RAM and usability for the less initiated, and everyone was uninitiated once.
Other app stores on Android don’t necessarily lead to issues with RAM and usability. They don’t have to re-implement the Google framework stuff.
The same would go for Apple, and people will simply have options. Sure, they’ll have to learn about them, but they have to learn about many things in life! And it’s not like Apple will suddenly allow others to re-implement their SDK.
But there’s no reason to discuss hypotheticals here, as this is currently playing out in the EU. We should be seeing the issues you mention, but we don’t.
They don’t have to re-implement the Google framework stuff.
Most of these apps don’t in China either. But you do need to reimplement an update-checker. And that’s enough to hog the RAM. And with the RAM already hogged, the window shattered, little optimization of the update-checker is done.

They won’t learn about it if it becomes the norm to have RAM hogged.

No, you have to go through complicated bureaucracy and fees to become an independent app store for iOS. Anyone who goes through this is probably competent enough to optimize their update-checker.
I have three app stores installed on my Android, yet none hog my RAM. This is a non-issue (especially since an update checker doesn’t run all the time, only on infrequent intervals which are triggered by the OS itself).
How do other app stores on Android lead to Google stuff not being available? There’s no connection, the reason is sanctions.
How would other app stores on iOS lead to Apple stuff not being available?

You are initiated enough to consciously avoid junk apps.
