I can think of plenty of ways where mega-companies and governments could make power-grabs and increase control/administration over app stores ("get your app approved by EU/US/Japanese agency to get a geo license to distribute your app"). As opposed to simply forcing tech companies to take a more hands-off approach.

I can think of 100x examples of the former in other industries and almost no modern examples of the latter happening (besides maybe right-to-repair, which hasn't meaningfully happened anywhere yet).
