Was that a possibility before the changes?
It has always been a possibility but apple's business model is "be the biggest monopolistic piece of shit possible" so that's always going to override anything but a law that forces them to not be a monopolistic piece of shit, something the EU attempted here, but apple made sure to find a way to say they're following the law while simultaneously flouting it as hard as possible
Not these ones specifically but that's why I said, "these issues." The way they run their app store and their stance on sideloading is all coming from the same anti-competitive strategy.
