The App Store is one of the real strengths of Apple, and a real benefit for the consumer, in my view.

The App Store from Google / Android isn't less secure. They can (and have) deleted malicous apps before.
Do you mean higher prices and less competition is a benefit for the user?
The point is that Apple is trying to block the free market.
