Yes, anticompetitive is an interpretation which I disagree with. It’s governmental overreach and the EU threading the needle to ensure apple in its cross-hairs.It’s the "take it or leave it" that's at issue here and being viewed as anticompetitive. Once again, the FACT is that Apple restricts users of a major mobile OS (iOS) from being able to vote with their $$$ when it comes to things like picking where they buy/acquire apps for their iPhone.
Not an appropriate comparison as specific automakers don’t have the market power, dominance, influence, etc. in their market that Apple has in the mobile OS market where there are only two major players (iOS and Android).
As I've stated many times, having an alternative or multiple alternatives does not negate antitrust laws and regulations. Coke and Pepsi, for example, are typically considered suitable alternatives to each other yet both have faced antitrust charges over the years.
You don’t like the product, but a product that suits you. Don’t cheer on government to introduce regulations to air over a company’s assets.
