This literally strengthens Apple because they'll keep shipping services with integrated features (banning competition) while Android devices will be banned from providing the same integrated experience.

I don't understand why people keep making this argument. It's not about having integrated services. It's about abusing your dominance in one service to force another onto OEMs and consumers.

Apple has no market dominance in the EU, so nothing in this ruling is relevant to them.

I think you misunderstood my argument, because I really can't see what your message has to do with mine.

yes; but to exactly the same degree that it strengthens all other competitors.
