No thats not the intent of the newly passed digital markets act which will come into effect soon.

But I am happy to come back to you when the EU takes action though!

Anti-trust laws are perfectly legal. We can make and enforce laws that force Apple to change, just like laws exist in all parts of the world.

You have invented that intent.

Because it is not in the act nor have there been any public statements about it.

The intent was for people to be able to freely sideload apps.

Also, it is in the law. There was a specific part where it said that gatekeepers cannot sidestep the law via contractual terms, or something similar to that.

But once again, I am more that happy to come back to you when the EU regulators take action against Apple, to force them to comply.

Will you admit that you are wrong if action is taken by the EU regulators against Apple?
