Isn't the other issue that alternative app stores are only available in the EU? So even with the approval of emulators it would still be inaccessible to the US since Riley is only going to release it on altstore.

That's a thing as well yes. Maybe he's betting that Apple will eventually make alternative app stores also available on the US, who knows. The fact is that he seems to be clearly holding back the emulator.

No, since AltStore is already able to install on your iPhone for years via sideloading

And the documentation to do so: https://faq.altstore.io
