>The users have the option not to buy Apple devices.

And Apple has the option not to ship in EU when there will be a browser selection law as for Microsoft Windows.

If you are honest you would know that most users only have 2 mobile OS options, they don't have granular options like "I want an iOs with privacy of iOS, freedom of Linux and design of GNOME , users have a choice form 2 big pile of shit and they need to decide the one that stinks less.

27% in Europe doesn't make a monopoly like Windows with 80% desktop market.

Random wishes on HN and actual laws aren't the same.

We have the freedom to ask our representatives for new laws, bad behavior needs to be stopped regardless of market share.

And Apple will always have the option to follow the law or not sell stuff in EU, we demanded the industry to use same charger for devices (before even same fucking company could have different chargers) and we got it, we can do the same for browser options, payment options if our democracy wants it, but Apple could protect US citizens and not allow them to install alternative browsers and stores, then in 10 years we can compare numbers and see who was right - though I am expecting the answer "US is special, is big and the density and the diversity, something that works in EU will not work in US)
