       @dmitriid @daringfireball Apple is a business, and if it doesn’t make business sense for them to release a feature in the EU due to the DMA they are not gonna do it.Let companies design their own products, and let users vote with their wallet.

       @dmitriid @daringfireball @gruber Why would they be entitled to do anything on someone elses platform. There are lots of considerations going into opening up deep integrations to other companies and not something you should take for granted.Should EU require Volvo to support CarPlay Ultra integration? And maybe other infotainment systems? So that everyone can compete in Volvo cars and the users can choose what infotainment system they prefer?This kind of legislation is too far reaching.

       @dmitriid correction: they are not entitled to do anything they want on someone else’s platform.If that’s how they want to sell cars then yeah, it’s up to them to decide. Then the people can decide if they want to buy it.

       @dmitriid for example Pebble that you mentioned. No I’m not saying that at all. There are terms that developers accept, and if you don’t violate them you are not being kicked out of course.Yes, there is a duopoly. But legislation that makes these two leave out useful features is not the right way forward. It doesn’t magically give us any more choice. It just makes things worse.

       @dmitriid just like Apple is not entitled to have CarPlay Ultra integration in every car. The car platform owners are free to choose which parts of their platform they want to open up for 3rd parties.
