As others have said, what Apple is doing here isn't so much "anti-competitive" as filling a regulatory void with consumer- and privacy-friendly requirements/suggestions -- something that is possible in a practical sense because of their natural monopoly over their own platforms.
- Someone 7y ago”Reuters notes that Apple has a second requirement– sorry, ‘suggestion’ which goes beyond this. Apple Inc will ask developers to position a new “Sign on with Apple” button in iPhone and iPad apps above rival buttons from Alphabet Inc’s Google and Facebook Inc, according to design guidelines released this week.” If done by the hand that feeds you, the line between “suggestion” and “order” is fairly thin, and ‘order’ could be interpreted as misusing the power they have to push a new ‘product’.
