So let me get this straight.

The EU is finding Apple in breach of their antitrust laws, and requiring Apple to allow third party apps on their platform, like how Android devices can install Fdroid or...can non-Samsung devices install the Galaxy Store? Their argument about why they shouldn't have to do that is "we actually have multiple app stores", at least partially counting MacOS, iPadOS and iOS as separate platforms that just so happen to have converging internal technology (they're all ARM-based platforms now), branding and UI. Why do lawyers get to say irrelevant shit without repercussions?
