The kind of developers who’d “jump ship”, especially for developing web apps, make the kinds of apps that I want to avoid anyway.
Third party app stores will be a cesspool of malware and garbage, like they are on Android now.

I'd say the Google Play store is the one actually full of awful software a lot of which is actually malware. Part of this can be attributed to Google's loose requirements and the other perhaps Android's security model in general is too permissive. It's very easy to fuck up your Android phone in a way that you simply can't on iOS.
I'm not terribly concerned about it since I think a lot of it comes down to how iOS and Android are designed, but it's not not a concern.
It would be to allow you to install chrome or firefox on your iPhone.
