Ignoring your silly hyperbole—

Yes, it is harder to support APIs compared to… only having a completely closed system.

It would take a trillion dollar company to have the kind of resources that kind of thing would take.

The fact Apple thinks it should be exempt from rules that try to impose some fairness and choice, simply because “it’s hard” is the kind of thing that makes me feel they should be forced to be broken up in some fashion that limits the conflict of interest. They can be a petty platform owner who extracts rents from every developer OR they can offer things like apps and services on top of a platform. They are proving themselves too evil to be both.
