The basics of Android are opensource, but not the app store. Google doesn't allow the app store to run on non-Google phones, including non-Google Android phones.
Even those who rooted their phones have to copy the app store app from their non-rooted installation. And then, what you get to see in the app store seems to depend on your IMEI.
