Governments ought to be the place for this level of regulation, absolutely - But right now, governments aren't regulating.

In the mean time, I'm glad Apple is. If Apple wasn't doing this, no one would be.

Never heard of regulatory capture?

If the government regulates something, that very often means that the incumbents will donate/bribe officials to pass regulations that favor the mega corps.

Getting government regulations that actually favors the consumers is somewhere between difficult and impossible.
