Apple as anticompetitive as always, they rather make their user's experience worse and blame the goverment for pushing regulations than to allow others to compete in fair grounds against them

Funniest thing is that if EU came up with an open and interoperable standard on their own Apple would be saying it’s either bad or forced upon them and that they’d do it better.

Yeah, I’m with Apple on this one.
In the old days, instead of legislating stuff like this, governments, companies and NGOs would come up with a standard for interoperability. Everyone that participates benefits and safeguards can be put in place.
This legislation exists so that Apple is incentivised to develop interoperable systems. Apple opted to degrade experience for everybody rather than allow for level playing field.
Gotta open it up so Meta can data farm apple watch user data, and make it so apple watch owners have to type in the 64 character wifi password. Win win for everyone 🙂
Are you thinking of a different Apple? We're all thinking of the one that does everything they can to lock their users into the Apple way of doing things and considers interoperability to be a four letter word.
