Yes. If a company in another country elects not to deliver a product or feature because of local regulations, consumers should take that up with their local legislators. That company has no obligation to sell something just because local consumers want it. And if those consumers want to bypass local regulations in some manner, that's their business.

Market pressure is a pretty strong obligation to their shareholders. I expect Apple to fold, eventually.

Possibly. At that point it becomes a cost/profit calculation. Maybe the EU is big enough to matter. Maybe it isn't.
