Sideloading is already a thing on Android, and I am not forced to use these apps to use the Android ecosystem. Mind you there are certain phone manufacturers who pack their phone full of crap, but I have a large selection of Android phones to choose from to avoid that. Even Google doesn't force me to use their app store.
You could use the same point to argue that you have a large selection of phones to avoid walled gardens like iOS.
Honestly, as an iPhone user I don't mind these changes as long as apps and services don't force me to use alternative app stores.
