I'm pretty sure MS would like to push the same kind of limitations, take the same cut etc. They really saw a cloud of dollars went they went all in with Tablet design in Windows 8 and UWP etc.
They're coming back from that now because nobody wanted it but I don't doubt they still want to create their own walled garden. It's free money off app sales, control that gives them leverage over their customers and develops, data which they love (they're always pushing telemetry).
I don't really see what's in it for them to make a really open store.
