> Apple still has no right to interfere in any way at all, or collect a tax, if I want to sell an app to someone else outside of it.

You seem to be demanding that everyone bend to your view of how the world should work.

But the fact is that Apple has a right to determine what apps are on their platform. No different to how supermarkets choose what items to stock or social networks moderate what content to show.

Apple does not have a right to determine what software people run on their general purpose computers. That is the whole point of the DMA. I apologize if you couldn't understand this.

And yet, you can drive to Ikea and buy a couch without having to pay a fee to Walmart. Very curious. Want to think of a better analogy?
