While I prefer remaining in the Walled Garden because Apple makes it a veritable Eden compared to so many customer-hostile apps, I can see this. I still think the Walled Garden is better for customers (assuming you can also choose a different ecosystem) and it’s ok for one of many competitors, the rules have to change once you dominate the market. se la vie.

“using private APIs to undermine crossplatform technologies like messaging, smartwatches, and digital wallets,”

• I don’t understand and why all the chat apps don’t disqualify messaging as a concern
• what’s the deal with watches? You can use an Apple Watch without an Apple device. Granted I never looked into other smart watches on an iPhone, so I do t know: what’s the limitation?
• sorry, but confidential stuff like wallets and health records should remain controlled. …. Even if Walmart is funding this

I want to be able to choose a walled garden for my phone, just like I want to choose for game compatibility on my laptop, and ultimate freedom on my servers. Those are the right tools for my needs
