Don't many of these points apply to iOS and Android as well?

IMHO, this is far more pernicious and insidious.

I don't know what the situation is on Microsoft Windows, but these requests that are being asked are mostly already applied on iOS:

We call on Microsoft to respect its users and implement the following changes immediately and on a worldwide basis:

-Allow browser suppliers to compete for preinstallation and default deals with Windows PC manufacturers.

-End dark patterns targeted at users seeking to download and effectively use other browsers (including as system level default).

-Bring back the ability for users to make switching default browsers simple and transparent with a “single click” change for all relevant file types and apps (including PDFs).

-Open all web links in users’ selected system-level browser of choice.

-Eliminate manipulative Microsoft-exclusive banners pushing Edge in Windows, including when users are searching for other browsers.

-Stop using operating system updates to push users back to Edge.

-Remove the restrictive configurations of existing S mode devices that block usage of third-party browsers

Yes. But nowadays iOS lets you install multiple browsers and select default one different from safari.

Yup has been like that for a while. Mobile-first design has been a thing for forever now and at work we often times doubt that its still worth it to even have a non mobile design.
