What are they offering? A closed platform that arbitrarily stops perfectly valid apps over idiotic concerns of “competition”?

When people say Apple fans are sheep this is what they mean.

Thing is the EU and probably Australia don’t care for this kind of corporate apologism and recognise the danger of complete platform lockdown. This just increases customer choice within a platform. If you actually cared about choice you’d applaud it.

As an Australian - I am excited and I hope Apple just also enables sideloading here to sidestep any attention.
