Not any anticompetitive practice, just the ones that allow in competitors who have different security models for human/computer interaction.

Imagine if you could swap out Siri for Alexa. The privacy guarantees are nothing alike. People buy iPhones because they prohibit unsafe choices.

Source? What data do you have that "prohits unsafe choices" is the only or #1 reason that people buy an iPhone over an Android?

I mean the security model for both is pretty similar, you have a provider which gets your audio and then decides what they want to do with it.
