"appleinsider staff"  Please fix this sentence:

It applies to all residents in all provinces in British Columbia, except for Quebec, and that a serial number must be supplied.

It should say:

It applies to all residents in all provinces in Canada, except for Quebec, and that a serial number must be supplied.

It's also possible that apps that are only available in the "other stores" might not be able to have access to the same APIs? 
Maybe not, they'd get sued for not allowing the same developer "experience" but I would hope that Apple implements some sort of additional sandboxing for non-Apple AppStore apps.
Did the law require that apps side-loaded are required to have the same access to APIs? Or just have the ability to side-load?

Would be nice if you could show us how. I don’t see how to do it. Or it is only limited to certain countries. 

I hope my international cards 💳 will work with Apple Pay 

It’s all just a way for them to force a back door to the iOS. Has nothing to do with economics.
