If you find yourself making a statement only to immediately contradict it, consider whether or not that statement is worth making at all.

Plus, I don't see how it is even relevant if a platform has a first party store when it comes to allowing the user to install software.

It doesn't, but that doesn't mean people can't call out disingenuous statements made by the OP. Posts can be directionally correct even if they contain errors, but the errors are still worth calling out.

Errors are according to you. According to me, they are not errors.

Maybe you should consider reading a few words beyond the passage you quoted, because the "contradiction" only exists with your selective quoting.

The contradiction exists because you wrote it. If you wanted to avoid having to write a false statement and then walk it back, you could've left it out and skipped straight to explaining why those platforms' first party stores don't count in your estimation. As I recommended.
