The open your platform line looks so good but we just went through a number of stories about how people are being suckered into high cost apps only after initial download and such.
so if platforms are going to be forced open, we should go after game consoles too, then there needs to be some means to protect consumers from predatory apps because we are just opening the door to that and more.
finally, it also means that apps you don't like will now be easily available so best be good with that and not asking government to judge every app.
finally this means apps can do what they will unless we are willing to let platforms still restrict how they use your data.. which to be honest blocking 3rd party apps is at times beneficial
as in, you can have it all but everyone gets to as well.
So what will you give up for the freedom? Do you want the platform owner to still police for privacy issues? I don't see how it can be done if they cannot control access.
Frankly let all apps stores be forced open and it will be fun to watch how fast many demand them locked up or heavily regulated or worse
