> But this is solvable That's the crux of my point; Apple could have solved this on day zero if they had a consumer-centered threat-model and/or considered user data to be a liability rather than a hook for service subscriptions. > The problem is the work it takes to solve it isn’t worth the hit to time to market. (And possibly even the cost.) I don't consider this to be a problem, but the DMA working as intended and preventing gatekeepers from competing unfairly.

  > Apple could have solved this on day zero if they had a consumer-centered threat-model Consumer-centered threat model is perfectly well served with on-device models and Private Cloud. What isn’t is interoperability. > the DMA working as intended and preventing gatekeepers from competing unfairly I agree. And at the end of the day, Apple is following the law. I am sympathetic to their position, however, that this isn’t something worth building and optimizing for at launch. If we wanted to be rose tinted, EU consumers will get a fully-baked product. (EU developers get somewhat screwed, but I suppose their offshore offices could start.)
