The logical next step would be to require devices sold in the country to only be able to use legal app stores, where "legal" is defined as "complying with the requirement to block any E2E apps without backdoors".

Everything is already in place for this, both hardware- and software-wise.

What, and mandate you have some authorization to maintain your ability to access software or to use electronics of any sort that doesn't have a compliant application store?

Nope, just ban importation of such devices. Existing ones will join the waste heap soon enough, and then why bother banning the activity if any device capable of it is inherently contraband?
