For all practical purposes, the market is closed and developers really do, as a practical observation, have to distribute through Apple in order to reach the platform.
I think there will be third-party distributions for quite a while yet. Apple can't prohibit outside apps on Macs because too many of them can't be sandboxed. BBEdit is one of those, for example. So unless the rules change, some software will always have to be side loaded. I do agree though that new Mac users won't likely look elsewhere, but as they become more experienced they might.
I'm still not happy with the situation, I don't like it at all. But I'm not sure third-party installs will completely disappear either.
