MODERATORS
Don't know if this will have any impact; Apple has resisted fixing design flaws in their past products even with public pressure.
It's probably more effective to vote with your wallet and show Apple their behavior isn't acceptable at your next upgrade.
Wallet voting doesn't work at that scale. The user base overall doesn't care and doesn't know better.
Those that care making noise and politics regulating works, or can work.
A big group of Apple fanbase are not ignorant, rather willing accomplices. Just look at the downvotes here. They will do anything to defend Apple's rogue behavior - like resorting to whataboutery, blaming the EU or even claiming that PWAs are bad.
My theory is that by defending Apple, they're trying to make themselves feel important with their overpriced products.
