EU bureaucrats really earning their name here. Maybe they can realize real choice and innovation will come from allowing different operating systems on locked down hardware, instead of this crusade against Siri AI. Something that is easily fixed by downloading literally any other AI or agentic photo/video/whatever app.

This is a joke right? Like how you can download any browser on iOS as long as they are all running on Apple’s engine.
I am for real browser choice, and also for real operating system choice. You can download other photo apps and not use Siri AI if you don't want to. Not sure why you would think this is similar to the browser situation on iOS at least in the USA. I believe alternate browser engines are allowed in the EU now thanks to the DMA.
Because literally any other AI cannot have the same privileges that Siri AI. The DMA allowed actual browser choice, it can also allow real AI choice.
I hope the EU and DMA succeed in that case, but would also like to point out operating system choices would also help accomplish the same objective of the DMA.
