because running an app store costs a lot of money and would only be profitable if you had a lot of customers at which point you have a hard time fighting the advantage google has with play store already available.
The question was why is there no meaningful competition in app stores - not sure how charging more for the product would cause there to be more app stores for that product?

An app store is not a product, it is a feature.
If the App Store is a feature, then maybe they should charge more for the product to cover that feature.
