If I would make the law, I would start with the operating system.
Why is there no market for operating systems that run on iPhones? Because Apple actively prevents it.
There are only downsides of this. Imagine paper could only be written on with pens from the same manufacturer. Imagine Microsoft would have actively prevented installing browsers other then Internet Explorer on Windows.
It might be a good idea to make active anticompetitive measures on hardware illegal.

There would be no downside of this. Users who want the pure Apple experience would use iOS which is installed by default. And users who want a different OS would install that.

There’s a lot wrong with such a proposal, much of it being way too onerous on the hardware developers and simply impractical for all the implications associated with requiring hardware be opened.
