I think you misunderstood what I said.

Even if a court does something like “you must allow alternative browsing engines”, it’s going to be a very difficult thing for a court to rule _successfully_ that “you must allow unrestricted USB access to alternative browsing engines”, as that will completely destroy security.

It’s also what would be required to make people who hate Apple for not implementing the same privacy-busting and security-nullifying APIs that Chrome has done.
