Lol. "How people use them" is entirely a question of "how the manufacturer lets people use them".
Somehow it is ok that Sony and Nintendo have defined their consoles as "not a general purpose computer", while it is not ok for Apple to define their device as "not a general purpose computer".
What you are actually asking for is that companies should impose more restrictions on what people can do, lest they be targeted as gatekeepers.
> market penetration is.
Yet "hometown" companies like Spotify are mysteriously absent from the list of gatekeepers. And iPad OS, despite not meeting the thresholds defined for gatekeepers has been added "because we felt like it".
- snowpid 2y agoCan you explain why Spotify must be a gatekeeper? Spotify has a smaller share than Android, there 2 similar companys offering similar service and you can export your data, playlist. Deezer offers a service to transfer all data.
- hamandcheese 2y agoAll I'm saying is people don't pay their taxes using an Xbox. I'm all for opening up consoles too. But Apple is a much more important target in the fight for consumer rights.
