Apple operates in a worldwide market. Sadly for them, we don't live under 1 Government and so therefore they can't bribe themselves out of all these changes.
They are of course free to restrict US consumers (No Sim slot, return of lightning, no sideloading) as they have Biden in their pocket. For those us who don't live in the US, I doubt the majority would want to return to the Apple walled garden.
The EU & Japan (and others) are now just getting started. Apple's locking down everything over the years is now about to come back and haunt them. I'd imagine we might see Apple suddenly offer to reduce the 30% fee down to single digits but it's too late now, the ball is rolling against them.
