Apple should be punished for their nasty monopolistic behavior with banning competing browsers. MS didn't get away with doing even less than that in the past, so Apple for sure shouldn't either. They were running amok with this garbage for too long.
By banning competing browsers, Apple also has leverage on broader adoption of JavaScript features and related technologies which they oppose. For example they refuse to implement Media Source Extensions, which allows them to sabotage wider usage of DASH, because they are pushing their own HLS. If that's not an anti-competitive behavior punishable by anti-trust, what is?
