Because google lets these players put apps in their store already chock full of all the tracking and junk they want. They know if they didn’t, they would open their own store and google would loose their cut.
I definitely agree that they will try, but I’m sure the average FB/Insta/Threads user won’t go through the process of installing a third party store just for those apps, particularly when they’re already available on the App Store. With something like Fortnite that’s not available I could see it. But with Meta products I doubt it, particularly with the older, less tech savvy crowd that tends to use them.
I wager meta and Microsoft etc the ones big enough to make their own store will pull their apps from apples App Store. Metas store will be the exclusive place to download instagram and what’s app, and the average user will begrudgingly download one extra app to get stuff working again and then forget about it and never open it again.
android has allowed 3rd party app stores since day 1 so this is going to be an issue on the iPhone how?

A ton of things only happen after it’s done on iPhone.
