Exactly this. If I had the feeling that I can install everything from anywhere, under my own responsibility of course than locking platforms through single app stores wouldn't be a problem.

I also think that the monopolistic definition here is not about there are alternative complete platforms (device + os + distribution) but narrowed only that if I select your device (APPLE) then I cannot freely choose where I buy apps and services from and I can't negotiate fees). That's still monopole... in the app distribution field on a single platform.
