I think the DMA is not the best legislation. Some parts don't require regulation whereas missing parts definitively require regulation. For example, I cannot publish my app in the app store. I don't need an alternative market. I'd like to have an anti-discrimination law for app publishers (side note, I'm not trying to publish a porn app, just a small productivity app for a limited audience).

In a previous comment [1], I considered abandoning Apple. With this official statement, I'll actually switch to Android. I'll welcome the F-Droid store very much.

Apple, I've been your customer since 2006. I started with the iPod. During this time I had a significant fraction of your lineup. I'm not affected by your changes but I'm using some PWAs. With this erratic behavior, I'm afraid you kill features that I'm using.
