If you've been paying attention, anything that Priti Patel endorses should cause you to think before agreeing with her. She is an incompetent minister, a bully, and she's broken the Ministerial Code numerous times. Those aren't ad hominem attacks, and they aren't based on her race; they are facts, and are based on her actions and record.

And the legal terms at the bottom of that page show a whole bunch of iPhone 11 and 12 offers ending on 16th September 2021, meaning purchase the new iPhone 13 from 17th.

Save £288 on iPhone 12: Offer ends 16 September 2021.
Save £288 on iPhone 12 mini: Offer ends 16 September 2021. 
Save £288 on iPhone 12 Pro: Offer ends 16 September 2021.
Save £288 on iPhone 12 Pro Max: Offer ends 16 September 2021.
Save £72 on iPhone 11: Offer ends 16 September 2021.

What does this give to an indie developer? I can see it only affecting those developers who have the means to implement their own payment processor.

What happens if Apple have to allow third-party stores onto iOS? Do I, as an indie dev, have to decide which stores to put my apps on? It's hard enough to deal with the one App Store at the moment, but adding extras will make it very time-consuming for me.

Will Apple have to create some way for any third-party store to check our developer profiles and certificates?

And what about updates? If I've signed up to three or four stores, every update has to go to those three or four stores. That multiplies my work with every store I sell in.

Where are the updates stored? My own server? AWS? Who's paying for this?

Will every store use the same image sizes for their marketing etc., or will I have to do a 2048x2048px image for Apple's store, and an 1896x1896px one for a different store?

And what store is going to do this out of the goodness of their hearts? None. There will be a price. Will it be $99/year like Apple's? SO now I have to pay $99 plus $49 plus $35 plus $50 for those other stores every year.

As an indie dev, I can't afford that. I'd stick with Apple's way of doing it.

A post with too many silly questions. Funnily enough, you have answered ALL of your questions in the last line of your post. NOTHING changes for you. 

What silly questions? I asked pertinent questions. Your response was silly.

Is there some reason why you can't use the GBP symbol, £? You used the USD one, $, for the story about Tim Cook's $750 million share deal.
