Apple forfeited the right to be safety arbiter for their users when they used it as a cudgel to extract supra-competitive profits from customers. Same reason why we drenched the US phone system in red tape back in the 80s and 90s to make phone service competitive. It led to a shitton of funny scams but it also is the only reason why we got home Internet service at all. The phone companies were screaming up and down about how dial-up Internet was going to kill the phone network, but we didn't listen and made them work around it. As for Facebook[0] "abusing the DMA", the correct solution for that is for the EU to put interoperability restrictions on Facebook that let us use Facebook without their shitty apps. Apple should be allowed to write a third-party Facebook client so that people can uninstall Facebook without losing access to their friends still using it. [0] It is always ethical to deadname corporations.
