TL:DR They don’t want to be forced to open features for the concurrency. My problem with the whole situation. The EU gets some nice features that some portion of users benefit from (AltStores , Sideloading) , but in exchange , we use other features that are far more useful. Like here , screen mirroring. There was a rumor that also AirDrop could loose/lack some functionality in the future (in EU). It is getting ridiculous. I know that the argument „if you want an open phone , buy an android, why did you buy iPhone if you don’t want ecosystem“ is not valid as there are situations where you can’t choose (family buying only iPhone, Job only provides iPhone). But I fear that my experience and reason why I bought into the Apple ecosystem will be harmed by this over regulation. I wanted it locked down and secure, I don’t want Google and Microsoft devices to be able to interact with my systems… the whole reason I ditched Windows and Android. Am I alone with that, anyone else who thinks so?

Where Apple has complied with no malice, consumers have benefited. No legislation can be perfect, specially when corporations cling to malicious compliance, but the DMA can be better for everyone, including Apple. They're just favouring much more their relationship with investors than with developers and their customers. This makes the ecosystem worse and worse, doesn't matter if it's closed or open.
