So what do you propose? Not only have most HN users been advocating that the platform vendors allow alternate means of installing apps and being forced to do so by the government, now do you also want the government to make rules about what is allowed in the App Store?
I propose for Google to apply their guidelines consistently and fairly. Ideally on their own. If it takes a shitstorm every time, that's very annoying (but helped last time they tried to play this game with podcast apps) but at least fixes the problem for a bit. Maybe there is grounds for a lawsuit if they apply it massively unfairly, I'm not a legal expert on that.
Looking back at our last discussion, you have a serious problem of equating everything with a call for government intervention.
