I don't hate the idea of having other stores in closed machines but I do doubt they will allow alternate payment methods into stores in an "open" platform like on PC. I wouldn't even mind having alternate payment options on Steam than just the default ones but at that point, how would a place like Steam make money? I wouldn't mind if phones and consoles have alternate stores to drive more competition though.

I always thought stores could charge a "hosting fee" for those who didn't want to sell through those: they charge like an advertiser would. Essentially, you use Steam as an advert platform for your game. 

Isn't that what they are doing now?
