All pained analogies are both pained and invalid.

iOS is not a liquor store, and allowing people to use other payment processors or even other stores on the platform is not selling liquor to minors.

Note how your analogies immediately fall apart for other platforms like, for example, Apple's own MacOS.

You can ignore the analogy, just contend with my actual point: regulation should follow the product, not the venue. How does the analogy fall apart on macOS? The choice of some venues to be libre doesn't mandate other venues to be libre.
