The user can choose to not install fb from another store if they care about privacy, simply as that, user decides what's in their phone

  The user has that choice right now to not install it from the App Store if that's their preference.

    yep, user can choose to do what they want, including installing apps from third party or viceversa - not installing an app that doesn't respect their privacy/values

      You're deliberately avoiding my point and my preferences. I want to use Meta's services, play Genshin Impact, and use microsoft apps on windows. I want to manage my subscriptions via the app store. I bought an iOS device _knowing_ that was the setup. We've seen this change with uPlay, battle.net, epic launcher on PC. Users don't get "more choice", we live with the rules the developer sets out for us. I _want_ to be on a platform where the developer sets standards for payment handling, authentication options. I don't want to have to provide my payment deatils to Genshin's app store, but I do want to pay them. Stop telling me that I will have a choice when I have already made a choice, and _you_ want something different.

        and now you're gonna have to live by the rules the law say. same as in any other circumstance. Someone else can come and say "but i want to sideload meta and Y and Z, but still use an iphone!". Sure, both are choices, and MAYBE mutually exclusive. I will then side with the one that is most free. In this case thankfully regulation seems to aswell
