App stores are also monopolies who are abusing their positions. There's been recent/current litigation about exactly that. Those other services are cool but are not just a kind service to gamers. It's to keep the industry on their platform. It's to increase market dominance. They could spin those services off as separate if they wanted but that wouldn't support the market dominance so they won't.
