What a day for app store regulation: when it rains it pours as the saying goes.

I don't know, here in the real world, so far the EU's regulations of Apple has shown Google that it can safely make Android a closed platform. Before there was uncertainty that Google didn't want to test. This is possible because EU don't care about "sideloading" and accept the security argument to allow gatekeeping by the device/OS makers.

Meanwhile Apple is having fun how to creatively pass the EU regulations while defeating every point of it in practical terms.

Maybe in a decade or two there will be something useful from this, but in the meantime it will be worse.

		Supreme Court rejected Apple's last chance to stay negotiating a fee for using 3rd party payments in apps based on costs, so Apple asked the judge to force Epic into settlement talks and proposed a commission of 5%-15% that ignores "costs" because there are none and they feel the court's instruction to base it on costs is invalid.
