Alphabet, Meta, Amazon, Netflix and Microsoft should just demand 30 % of the device purchase price before allowing access to any services. If Apple is allowed to limit access at their own terms then others should be able to do so too.

I don't think any company with a huge market share should be able to do so, so I hope Apple will have to open up at least to the degree Android has done.

They are literally free to charge whatever they want right now, they just don't because no consumer would put up with it.
