This problem is not limited to Apple mobile devices, it is shared with every manufacturer curating all the software on their platforms. Apple, Nintendo, Sony, John Deere, and so on. Every manufacturer gatekeeping their platform for security, financial, community, repair, or quality standards. They should all instead bust the machines wide open, allow anyone's operating system software to be in control, and give up the notion that curation in exchange for restrictions is something anyone can willingly buy into. If you go after Apple, you go after all the other platform companies, because their justifications do not hold water either. If you go after just Apple, you have to convince the judge that there are good reasons Apple must conform while nobody else has to.

This. I think a lot of people miss the bigger picture. If Epic win this, do you really think games consoles are safe? What about car infotainment systems etc.? An Epic win could effectively make all walled gardens illegal
