#2I don't understand the situation.
If you publish a popular app via an alternative app store and don't pay Apple, Apple can still block/remove your app?
Then what is the point of alternative app stores? I thought it's about who controls which apps get blocked and which get onto the phone?

(It’s per year, not per month.)

Also of note, updates count as downloads.

The point is malicious compliance with EU regulations.
They cannot overtly say they are not going to do what they were told to.

That's like saying "if you don't want to pay taxes, renounce your citizenship and live on a yacht in the ocean". You can, at huge cost, but a lot of stuff you're relying on just doesn't work any more because the people who made them have no interest in servicing you, e.g. your bank accounts.
A better option is "use Android", which already does support multiple stores.

Oh bravo, is that how you respond to all anti-competitive practices?

The flipside of that is: If you want to sell your product in a nation, you must comply with the nation's rules.
