That’s all fine and dandy but Apple has been doing this shit for 20 years and the EU (and every other nation on the planet) has failed to do anything except force them to allow alternative app stores that Apple STILL MUST APPROVE and the developers STILL MUST PAY APPLE, so effectively nothing. It’s not complicated. Mandate Apple to allow the installation of any and all alternative app stores and apps, and deny them any control over it. Not just Google and Apple, but all consumer hardware.
You accept that EU has started doing something and then demand they mandate something which they are in the process of doing.
Crapple built up their position to this point over 20 years in a time where the US were considered allies. Trump has luckily come about to change that perception and to allow the EU to stop being a bunch of pansies clammering to their daddy protector. They cannot piss of the US completely at the moment as it would take a single presidential order from a rampantly maniacal orange man to switch of most of Europe.
Change doesn’t happen immediately. It’s slow. Give it time.
They didn’t start doing something, they’ve already done it. Apple has found loopholes and/or refused to comply. That’s failure, as far as I’m concerned. Punishment should be swift and traumatic, or it’s pointless. It shouldn’t take years for the EU to enforce the laws they wrote.
That would be nice but it’s not what I’m asking for. I’m asking for expeditious change. There’s absolutely no reason this should take more than even a year, except unnecessary bureaucracy.
Like I said, they’ve been doing for for 20 years, it should’ve been stopped 20 years ago. I have zero faith they will ever succeed.

You want immediate change. You’re asking for the impossible and disappointed you’re not getting it or that it isn’t happening.
