at least they’re playing ball instead of forceful resistance
Uh what the fuck? In every case they’ve gotten better at all a law has absolutely been required to force them. But typically they don’t get better because typically with every new law they comply as maliciously as humanly possible.
Yes, laws were required to make Apple do the logical thing. BUT the point is that instead of fighting those laws, Apple is actually implementing the required changes.
Meanwhile Google didn’t just remove the “don’t be evil” slogan, they’re actively enshittifying Android year on year. Is that the example you want Apple to follow?
But malicious compliance is absolutely fighting the laws. Plenty of legal ways to be shitty. Turns out I understood you perfectly because you’ve just stated the exact point again which I specifically was disagreeing with. That apple is not fighting the laws. Even if we ignore the malicious compliance you can be sure they’ve spend hundreds of billions over the years trying to stop laws or enforcement of laws that protect apple customers from apple. (No one is saying Google isn’t doing all of this too btw)

I gotta say you don’t seem the most informed on this topic. Are you not aware that nearly every issue people have with Google, outside of ad/privacy concerns, is something they copied from apple? Removal of ports, reducing repairability, etc. Also right now Google is effectively looking to kill third party app stores. Which apple did from the start. In fact when the EU passed a law requiring apple to allow third party app stores, they complied maliciously as fuck. They made it so expensive to do so that no developer could publish an app outside the apple store without literally losing money even if the app was free, they still owe a steep fee, every year iirc.
