An App store is just another App unless it is "native" to the OS.
Mobile OS is owned by Apple and Google so native App stores are owned by Apple and Google. Any other app store can be delisted from the native OS app store or heck even declared as malware by the OS owners.
We need an alternative OS to succeed before we can have more app store options. Alternatively, we need an app store to completely get rid of their dependency on native app stores or OS.
