In short, people don't like a deal, and rather than walking away (which they are free to do), they want a well-armed third party to alter the deal. I see a lot of critiques about "bundling", but the fact is every deal is a package deal. Force Apple to allow installing a non-Safari browser; you're still running iOS, you're still using Broadcom chips, you're still indirectly supporting the CCP, etc. But good for Apple because these token changes keep people from leaving their product altogether. The sad irony is that these actions will further entrench established firms by diminishing/obviating competitive advantages of would-be competitors, and/or yield worse outcomes for consumers. This has been the case throughout the entire history of "anti-trust" law. Aside: Competing is not "anti-competitive". A "competitive market" is not determined by counting extant competitors, but by whether or not would-be competitors are interfered with by third-parties.
