Perhaps it is a matter of my preestablished cynicisms but this seems like a campaign contribution shakedown/stupid election year publicity stunt where they rail against a big bad company for complete bullshit reasons. I don't get why people go with the Apple locked down system personally but they aren't even a majority of the market nor a plurality.

There is absolutely no reason to believe that the House gives a shit about interoperability given the DMCA and lack of right to repair laws.

Google isn't much better. I suspect the government is going to force both of them to open their app store with anti-trust suits.
