Big Tech to EU: "Drop Dead"

LOL. I work in tech and security is part of my portfolio.
If you work in security, and is unable to understand that new app stores would be optional - not mandatory - for users, that scares me.
The new app stores will be optional, but not the changes to the OS that will be mandated to accommodate them. What business is it of any regulatory body to mandate a reduction in security? Again, no one is forced to buy an iPhone, or use a Google product, etc.
What business is it of any regulatory body to mandate a reduction in security?
The strawmanning is strong in this one. You know perfectly well that the reason why this law exist isnt to "mandate a reduction in security". I also believe that you are intelligent enough to understand that the reason Apple is fighting this so hard has absolutely nothing to do with security either.
So, lets change your question to what this is actually about:
"What business is it to any regulatory body to mandate behaviour that promotes competition?"
And the answer to that one is that competition is good for the consumer, and a governments job is to improve things for its citizens.
