The geofencing and legal angles aren't easy to parse, but here's the status quo. Apple:
- Delivered an SDK that doesn't work on developer phones outside the EU
- Proposed legal terms that are *bonkers*
- Doesn't use the same APIs for their own browser
- Is refusing to provide APIs to support PWAs and PWA capabilities
- Won't let anyone ship a real browser outside the EU, even if all of that was acceptable. Which it isn't.
These are defense lines. To defend what? The App Store.
