Without illusions whatsoever pertaining secure/safe/private devices, I consider Apple the lesser evil, and I would prefer the devices and the ecosystems not to become less less bad.
Can pretty much get anything done on most platforms, but sticking to one is advantageous seen from a security/privacy perspective, and I prefer to have as little as possible to do with stuff from other platforms/google/FB/MS/what not.
Well aware of the wider exposure, but this stuff are significant reasons for my move to Apple. Perfomance, simplicity, security and privacy where it can be had to the extent it is available.
Breaking up or fragmenting the ecosystem will weaken the platforms in the areas that makes me prefer Apple stuff. Well aware of the deficiencies of the following, but one can sort of half rely upon that a Iphone is as secure and private as your own in most cases. With these "stores" there will be no reason to assume such thing even to the limited extent it can be recogned with at present.
"Opening up to the benefit of users" is just business bull. It has everything to do with BIG corps wanting to tap into the profits. They don´t give a turd about their customers. They are just using it as a wedge to get in, and the customers are exploited to get there.
If anyone believe the development isn´t a security/privacy risk, please do enlighten me how these "stores" with even shadier cats than within Apple´s own shop will improve security/privacy.
