    I imagine lots of developers will jump to fdroid.

    Not sure what closed source apps who don't want to pay Google will do though...

    You bank will be the last. Without your bank's app, you may not be able to do online banking. Car park apps. Public car charger apps. Even theme parks now have a ride booking app. There is more and more "app for that" with no alternative.

    We require law makers to get involved. America making it's tech monopolies a visible geopolitical problem should help us.
