Looking at the DMA, it’s not about security. It’s about opening things up so big tech can’t benefit from their position.

I think a company not being allowed to add features for their customers is a bit silly.

What would be the implication? I do not believe that DMA forces Apple to make iPhone sharing to Windows. How would it reduce "security"?
I think it's not that they have to make it able to screen share with Windows, but allow the same APIs they use to screen share to Mac open to anyone that want's to make a iPhone to Windows/Linux/Android screen sharing app.
That is just a baseless speculation.
Until something more definitive comes out, that's all any of us can do
