Considering how arbitrary Apple's demarcation of the five App Stores is already, it's not much of a technical leap to go further. I'm no expert on the Apple developer tools, but if it's anything like Android, apps for a 2022 iPhone are a lot closer to apps for a 2022 iPad than they are to a 2018 iPhone.
With Android, new API/ABI versions are released with breaking changes, forcing a different set of apps to be available for each version, but the codebase remains mostly the same across form factors at any given point in time.
I think the Commission are more than capable of seeing through Apple's artificial distinctions here, but the question is whether the General Court will!
