Got to give it to them, it's almost impressive how they found the most useless and malicious way to comply with the new regulations. I can only hope that the EU doesn't let that stand. EU bureaucrats never work fast though, so Apple probably succeeded in keeping their monopoly for at least a few more years.
On the other hand I feel like this shows just how vulnerable they are, if someone like the EU is actually there to regulate them.
If they'd think that they had a significantly superior product they wouldn't act this brazenly malicious at every turn.
The amount of money at stake is just too high. They will go to extreme lengths to counter this.
