Steam should make a mobile game store
They are working on Proton for ARM devices and will probably try to sell the next Steam Deck with an ARM processor. It wouldn't be too far off for them to make Steam for phones if that becomes reality.
I'd be most excited if they just worked on SteamOS for phones too...Then the rest of the community could piggyback on that to catapult phone-Linux as our long awaited practical third option!
(And no, Android, especially modern googlized Android, is not Linux or FOSS enough by a longshot.)
AFAIK Apple/Play Store do not allow this. They already got into a fight with Epic about it.
I think what they dont allow is having a store in their store. You can easily install a third party store on Android at least but you cant do it through googles store. They dont care if you do, they just wont help you do it. AFAIK, theres legislation in the works to prevent this since not offering third party stores is monopolistic akin to Internet Explorer being pre installed on windows.
Play services is not the same as Andoird. Manufacturers can decide what goes.
