I'm in the EU and I don't feel like the Web and Web Apps (which I use) are threatened.
Apple is not crippling the open web - it can't. It is crippling its own proprietary ecosystem, thus making the open web relatively more attractive and their proprietary ecosystem less attractive.
If Apple laughably produced a desktop computer with a one-button mouse, (and I wrote desktop software that required two buttons for decent user experience):
1) would it be in my rights to compel them to add a second button?
2) if I pursued such action, would I be right in calling Apple's refusal to add a second button 'an attack on the open desktop software ecosystem'?
