Big companies will constantly work against open standards.
Yes, but this case here is not a problem of Open Standards. It's misusing the power to exclude certain type of applications from the eco system. That can even happen with companies following open standards, they could still misuse their power and position to exclude what they want to, according to their policy.
Apple's constant anti-interoperability stance is the core reason I do not and will not own their products
"The developers of UTM mention that Apple even went the extra step, and disallowed the publishing of UTM SE on third-party marketplaces."
Apple do realize third party marketplaces can have their own rules because they are not affiliated with them right?
I believe Apple still has the power to block third party store apps based on signature. It's a security thing to be able clean malware.
I'm sure the EU will love that bit of malicious compliance that apple have shown they will use to remove non-malware that they just don't approve of using the same mechanism...
This is just me being pedantic, but I keep seeing this mistake when UTM is mentioned (specifically in headlines), so I feel like I have to say something:
UTM is not an emulator. It is virtual machine software that uses an emulator (QEMU) to virtualize operating systems.
The difference: emulators emulate hardware. On which, the virtualized operating systems run.
