Apple is the same company that “complied” with the alternative app stores by “allowing” altstore to exist, fully controlled by something called “notarized” apps.
They are are a POS anti-consumer company which deserves the worst. Oh yeah, and let’s not forget the quality of their own os and apps. Pure trash.
There is no company a tenth of their size that is not anti competitive.
I hate to shill for Google given their recent stanceand steps against AOSP, but early Android was truely open source, and it was amazing. Then the started kneecapping it by making it heavily reliant on google services and being antagonistic against the community. Part of it because China is becoming a gigantic threat, both hardware and software (Huwaei's latest OS). Still, AOSP has been caught in the crossfire.
Google is hugely anti competitive. Why cant I use a different voice assistant on android? If I disable the google app Inlose voice control of my car.
I get in your example they took their time but they were in the embrace phase.
