alt Hacker NewsAlso, the "open your app store to competitors" was just bullshit, eyewash, cop out. The apps on these "alternative app stores" still need to jump through all the hoops, pay apple development fees, get approved etc.

You do realize all those hops are what Apple decided to set up? It’s not from the regulations. They could have allowed 3rd party stores with zero restrictions but are instead trying to fake compliance
American company maliciously complying with the law, thinking they can get away with it? Never heard about such thing!
Jokes aside, the long arm of the law takes some time, it took us long time go get Apple to even allow alternative app stores. Eventually they'll get fined and actually start following the spirit of the regulations, but it'll take time as they try to drag it out as much as they can.
