I really hope this comment is just trolling people, because if you believe both of these things you've been lied to by someone.
> android exists for the sole purpose of ensuring Google has a constant revenue stream from their OS.
Does it? That's funny, it seems to be the other way around. Android can be built without Google services at all. You do not need a single bit of Google telemetry, advertising or otherwise, to build, run and enjoy Android.
iOS fits that description better. Apple sues anyone that tries to modify and redistribute the OS or prevent user tracking at a software level. For fuck's sake, this is a thread about Apple trying to charge developers money for using the hyperlinking feature and you're trying to call Android the moneygrubbing OS? Methinks you're projecting your insecurity as an iOS user.
> because obviously the cap needs to apply to companies like steam and epic as well as the console vendors.
Obviously they don't, but I guess I wouldn't expect any different from someone in denial that the DMA and DSA exist. Read them; Steam, Epic, Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are all alike in that they offer third-parties a fair opportunity to compete. Steam and Epic are very literally in direct competition with each other, so unless your point is highlighting how different these stores are from the App Store your point makes no sense.
Seriously; read the source material of what you are talking about before you take up Apple's sword and go to war for them. Your deliberate misinterpretation of the law isn't going to make people reconsider anything besides their initial support for Apple.
