I'm glad that government pressure is forcing them to change some of their practices. I still think the App Store and that whole ecosystem should be closed but there's definitely conversation to be had about the cuts that Apple takes for things like subscriptions and in-app purchases.

RCS UP is pretty standard and carriers can either implement their own hub, or use the Google Jibe hub I also wouldn’t be surprised if Apple implements their own RCS hub rather than relying on carriers

There’s no way Apple’s implementation includes Google’s tacked-on e2e encryption portion.

The best you can get is getting an extra gift card for the store you bought it from.

The only argument I can see against sideloading would be that it could increase the risk that some exploit in an unrelated app could somehow result in other malware being installed via the sideloading feature. But if they require you to first flip a switch to enable sideloading before being able to install an alternate App Store then that should hopefully keep things as is for the most part.

Most likely because only 10% of Android users sideload. Most I have seen is the Samsung App store and people mostly use Good Lock from it (which is free) and that's it.

Piracy is rampant on Android - for profit apps don’t make any money compared to iOS. Of course there will be positives to allowing side loading, but if I primarily developed non-free apps on the iOS App Store, I’d be deeply concerned about sideloading being opened up, especially if I have backend server costs. I’m also not looking forward to the inevitable call from my mom when some nefarious actor managed to install a bunch of fake versions of apps.

Sideloading will likely be an option that has to be explicitly turned on in settings and never will be on by default, protecting the overwhelming majority of users. This is how it was on Android a few years back and I assume still is. Everything else will continue to go through the store where there shouldn't be any changes to the security of those apps. So if you turn it on, then you are responsible for what happens. Apple will likely do something like they do on Mac where for EACH new sideloaded app you have to explicitly authorize it also. So no secret behind the scenes code running, unless it comes later from the sideloaded app you allowed.
