Thanks for the summary. My "Open Apple" wishlist includes:
• Allowing alternate web browser implementations, including alternate Javascript and WebAssembly implementations.
• Which would include third party developer access to the memory allocation/permissions API used for JIT compilers. Make iOS a first class ARM development OS. Please.
Perhaps removing restrictions to general APIs for competitive apps and "Super apps" would implicitly include those changes?
Interesting that this doesn't address Apple's iOS "taxation" of tangential non-web transactions, or the lack of App Store alternatives. If Apple has monopoly power, those seem like suitable concerns.
