I don’t know why this is such a surprise to people.
Android has allowed sideloading since it’s inception, Samsung has had an app store for as long as they’ve had phones, Xiaomi has one, f-droid exists, etc.
And developers still vastly prefer to put their apps on Play Store because that’s just where most users are. This isn’t the end of the App Store and the hyperbole in this thread is ridiculous.

Which App Store did they have on the Samsung D500?
The hyperbole is years of Apple propaganda as for why the user base should fight with Apple against this cause
