    Honestly why didn’t EU include all mobile device operating systems or just all operating systems with greater than some number of users?

      Probably because there aren’t any, they can’t specifically say “iOS”.

      I’m not aware of any other operating system (except the ones in game consoles or dedicated hw) that doesn’t allow the user to install other software not approved by the manufacturer

        Would not mind at all if consoles got lumped in and forced to allow alternative app stores

          Actually the more I think about it the more it seems like the only, legally fair decision. Either all of them are demanded to allow alternative app stores or none of them are. Why should the consoles be any different in this regard? 🤔

            Indeed. Apple always gets criticised for the 30% ‘Apple Tax’ but the console manufacturers get a free pass for the same thing. Bizarre.
