I just think it's not true for these specific features. Understood. Nonetheless it is objectively true that those features only work with other devices of Apple. DMA is not an Apple-regulation, it's a set of agnostic criterias that have been met by those features. I think you consider Phone+Watch+Earbuds an inseparable set of one experience. But this is actually a perception created by Apple. Now Apple is still free to do all that going forward, but they are not allowed to restrict i.e. an Earbuds competitor from challenging that experience. Right now they do that, because no matter how great i.e. Garmin is making a smartwatch, they are technically restricted from matching the features of an Apple Watch. Technically restricted by Apple themselves.
