Have you even read the Microsoft case? It's not even close to the same thing [0]. Apple hasn't forced it's terms on other companies in nearly the same way. Apple has instead built a hardware and software platform that has a lot of users and is gatekeeping their OS, hardware, and user-base.
There are arguments for side-loading on Apple, but that doesn't have anything to do with breaking up the iOS-Android mobile OS duopoly, which seems to be the thing you're really mad about.
Android allows side-loading. Making iOS more like Android doesn't strike me as "increasing consumer choice".
>illegal anticompetitive business practices
None of what Apple has done is apparently illegal. In fact, this is a _new_ law that Apple is complying with.
