I agree, such a weird take. In addition (to obviously trying to strengthen competition), this law also strengthens the position that users bought a functioning device over which they have control. That includes hardware and software and any required libraries and runtimes. Apple is free to include their perceived "share" in the device price or any optional cloud services, optional developer tools or optional (with competition) app store fees. I suspect they will to have to reduce their margins siginificantly. Edit: The cited take is even more uninformed than I initally thought. The EU is many things but people working their have been in the law making game a day or two. They 100% expected some shenanigans from Apple and friends and designed the DMA accordingly. It is no coincidence that this enforcement actions comes almost instantly (in "regulator time") .
