I just think this level of fine-grained intervention into a single company's business model is absurd. The reason Apple is in this market dominant position is because they've done something great, and the intervention appears to be foreign governments intervening into executive decisions about Apple's business model.
Honestly, I look at these plans as an Apple customer and think "Oh great, the EU is going to tie Apple up in stupid, unproductive exercises that's going to make my experience worse.". Not only am I pissed off that I'm going to be paying a premium for an Apple device so they can employ a bunch of engineers to build a bunch of EU mandated features I'll never use and will probably make my device less safe, I'm pissed off that the EU is wasting their time with this bullshit when there are real problems in the world to deal with - problems the EU isn't doing a great job of dealing with.
