This isn't true. They complied with most of it. This is a guidance in EU-DMA parlance, where EU is specifying[1] how it wants Apple to comply, not that apple hasnt complied and getting punished. Those woudl have been fines.
From the document itself, strangely, EU also announced expectations on how long every part should take.
> Apple must follow a structured timeline for handling interoperability requests. Eligibility assessments must be completed within 20 working days, project plans communicated within 40 working days, and development cycles must be completed within 6, 12, or 18 months, depending on complexity.
> After development, solutions must be released in the next relevant iOS or iPadOS update, with, in any case, a maximum total timeline of 24 months. Solutions requiring minor or mild engineering efforts will be included in the next interim (“dot”) release, while more complex solutions will be part of the next major release.
This is for third party requests. As Apple is required to comply with every reasonable interoperability requests it gets.
