You clearly don’t understand why apple did this, and what the EU is trying to require here.
EU is requiring that third party apps have access to the same things as first party apps, that is all. If the apple watch app can sync WiFi network passwords to your watch, a third party app must also be allowed to do the same thing. Like say the Garmin app syncing this info to a Garmin watch.
Apples solution to this is to be utter cunts and remove features from first party apps just to be “compliant” and then go and try and turn the population against the regulators.
Why would Apple spend potentially millions on creating an open API to allow other platforms to be compatible with their services, when they can just turn that service off? I get it’s cunty but it’s a smart business decision. Nobody should be surprised Apple is doing this.
The apis are already there and accessible(though undocumented), your app just isn’t allowed to be on the app store if you use it.
It would cost them next to nothing in dev time. They’re purely doing this to protect their own monopolistic interests. Which I guess yeah is a good business decision, one that should be illegal and punished.
And it is, which is why the Digital Markets Act exists. But unless you want to enslave Apple into doing your bidding then I don’t understand what else you expect Apple to do. They just thought it wasn’t worth their while to enable that feature if it meant extra dev time and resources. They are a business after all.
The dev time of blocking these features in the EU will be FAR higher than allowing apps to use the already existing and well implemented apis.
No it won’t dude you’re just making stuff up.
Also you seem to be under the persuasion that you’re forced to use Apple’s App Store. You’re not. Alternatives like Altstore PAL exist and are readily available if you wish. Whether you actually want to use those apps is another matter, but the choice is there.
Why do you want to force iOS to open up so bad anyway? I get that software freedom is cool but for that you already have Android (for the time being anyway). I used Android for 15 years but now as I grow older I appreciate the minimalist and well integrated ecosystem that Apple offers.
The world is better with both options. You’re demanding a world where you’re forced to have only one.
This is why Europe can’t create anything btw. Everyone is so focused on changing what already exists and works well instead of innovating and bringing something new to the table.

They simply need to polish up some internal api docs for making public and stop saying no to apps implementing these features on the app store.

I once again have failed to not feed the troll, goddamit.
I wish you luck on your future trolling endeavours.
