Then don't buy Apple hardware. There are those of us who find Apple's walled garden approach preferable to having to (1) tweak everything all the time because we can't get audio working or (2) we have to run three different competing antivirus scanners that make our 2024 computer run like it was made in 1983 or (3) be stuck in Google's walled garden where even if you pay, you are still the product.
Does Apple need to change things? Yes. But I — and I know that I’m not alone on this — happen to agree with Apple that the DMA changes requested will reduce overall security for customers. There may be worthwhile changes that happen because of the DMA, but the reduced security position is real.
Or maybe you dont download 3rd party app stores. Nothing changes if you dont want it to. Apple makes a very good product, that doesnt mean they should be allowed to hamstring it anti competitively.
