It's worth noting that they assert still wanting to comply on the other platforms:

> Nonetheless, Apple intends, on an entirely voluntary basis, to align each of the existing versions of the App Store (including those that do not currently meet the VLOP designation threshold) with the existing DSA requirements for VLOPs because the goals of the DSA align with Apple’s goals to protect consumers from illegal content.

Yes, but the regulatory fee you pay annually is calculated by reference to the in-scope service(s)' userbase, so by slicing you reduce what you pay, and your rivals end up footing more of the cost (since it's a cost-share system). Well played, Apple.
