There are basically zero articles that are honest about what competing app stores or iOS side-loading will mean in practice: which is to say, a lot of bad times for users, and not many good times for developers or publishers.
Why? Because the three inherent roles of app stores (sanding off insecure-by-default API misdesigns, further proprietary/per-OS APIs, and being shitty directories in lieu of decent search) are not things we should cheer anyone for fusing together.
