Yes. Why haven't they been fined for anti-competetive practices already? How can they still force developers to use their only webkit implementation? Is it because people think there are more browsers on iOS, forgetting that actual layouting, rendering and scripting, most of the web browser work is done in the single Apple's implementation? Also online video streaming providers are forced to encode in HEVC, because Apple refuses to support royalty-free VP9 and AV1, despite the fact that even HW implementation of VP9 is available for some time already in many SoCs and Intels (and chips with AV1 are being produced now as well). Microsoft was fined a lot in the past, forced to ask people for app defaults (full-featured alternatives), but Apple seems to have some special treating... and people don't care. As long as Apple says it's "for their security" (which is not true), they believe it. It's sad.
