And even then they'll think of the most malicious way to comply:

Forced to change the connector to USB C? Better only give it USB 2.0 speeds on the regular and Plus model.

Forced to allow third party app stores? Better give it as many restrictions and limits as possible. I assume/hope they'll eventually be forced to open up more, but they'll fight it for as long as possible.
