You've expanded the meaning of 'segregation' considerably, to apply to individual residence choices and freedom of association. Choose wrong, and the government will correct your choice.

It would be a wildly incorrect analogy. The EU only wants Apple to allow sideloading, not to accept any code in their app store. And I fail to see the relevance that the iPhone "is a lot more". A linux system is also hardware, sof
