The argument you're making can be used to say just buy an Android phone which already can do what you're describing, no?

- gambiting 6y agoOf course, but that's where it loops back to what I said about earlier EU ruling - if you own a platform that is used by more than 10% of EU population, then it's not good enough to just say "well, if you don't like it you can go somewhere else", because like I said in my first comment, Apple is inserting itself into business transactions that it maybe shouldn't be inserting itself into. I will say it again - if you have a company making an app for iOS, and customers willing to buy this app, why should apple have a say into whether it's allowed, and demand a 30% cut from every transaction? Like, imagine if a company making car mats had to ask for permission from Mercedes to sell mats compatible with their cars. Or brake pads or oils or literally anything car related. We've regulated this through legislation years ago - manufacturers cannot say what is and isn't allowed with their cars post sale, they don't have that power. Why not software platforms next?
