Well no. Instead of that, if the other party is required by law to do business with you, then you can use government force to make them do so.
And if Apple disagrees, then they are perfectly within their right to shutdown their EU operations and lose tens of billions of dollars I guess.
But the rest of us are perfectly willing to use democratically enacted laws, as they are intended.

They need the EU though. And if they don't comply with the law then they will be fined many billions of dollars, or be shut down entirely in the EU.
