Right...but before they were happy they were complaining about the awful EU (and they still are).

Here's John Gruber (who I like a lot, but you know when his Apple blinders are blinding him).

And now they're complaining about the EU requiring Apple to open up iOS like the Mac, and they are pushing back against that.

It's the regulatory version of how everything sucked until Apple did it (so multi-tasking on phones is awful, until Apple decided that actually now it's ok and now Stage Manager is the best thing since sliced bread).

Who is "they". You are lumping millions of people into a single group and treating it like there is one opinion.

The people who complained about one thing isn't even necessarily the same group complaining about the other.

It's perfectly reasonable to like the present outcome without liking the methods or the road taken to get there. I, for one, expect the regulation to stifle innovation in a few years. USB-C isn't perfect, and moving off it will probably be difficult.
