TL:DR They don’t want to be forced to open features for the concurrency. My problem with the whole situation. The EU gets some nice features that some portion of users benefit from (AltStores , Sideloading) , but in exchange , we use other features that are far more useful. Like here , screen mirroring. There was a rumor that also AirDrop could loose/lack some functionality in the future (in EU). It is getting ridiculous. I know that the argument „if you want an open phone , buy an android, why did you buy iPhone if you don’t want ecosystem“ is not valid as there are situations where you can’t choose (family buying only iPhone, Job only provides iPhone). But I fear that my experience and reason why I bought into the Apple ecosystem will be harmed by this over regulation. I wanted it locked down and secure, I don’t want Google and Microsoft devices to be able to interact with my systems… the whole reason I ditched Windows and Android. Am I alone with that, anyone else who thinks so?

Instead of being angry at the legislature forcing corporations to have some modicum of decency, you should be angry at corporations that don’t provide that by default and they act petty about it by degrading service.

Apple has dozens of billions of dollars ready to go implement anything at any given time, if they wanted to allow their services to work well in the EU with the new regulations they could (might take some time). But they won’t. Be angry at apple, not the DMA.
