Yeah it's a lock in but like you show, it's the same everywhere.
I don't know a way we could really have interoperability between stores without major financial agreement between them, because hosting the platform and services has a cost that is paid by the cut, if you move your games elsewhere they have to provide the bandwidth for you to download your games "for free"
