As long as Apple's a US company, the US law will dominate its actions because they might make less money in the world but the world won't jail them (well, can't jail anyone who really matters to the owners). If they think they can keep providing a better alternative with a heavy hand, they will, right up to regulation constraints. This leaves us with your previous observaation > If Apple won't do what's right, then we'll be forced to. And I agree. And in a (mostly) free-market system structure like the US, the solution is obvious... There's a reason I haven't used Apple as my primary compute platform for approximately 15 years.
