The same applies to all other app stores, there won't be any to move to.

No? Even if you forget about AOSP, which exists and is great, F-Droid could register as a dev. It seems to be a principled stance they're taking not to.

If you're on AOSP, Google can't affect you this way. You just need a portal to find APKs.
