I still don't see how there's a possible argument for making them actually distribute app stores, either.

Removing some of the (accurate) information that you need to trust an App Store to allow it to install and update apps, whatever. Limiting their ability to abuse their market dominance to control the behavior/hardware of phones that ship with them, great. But actually making them distribute content is wild.
