@brucelawson @owa And here's Apple spinning its own failure to police IABs as somehow a strong show of developer friendliness?

Apple's trying to argue it isn't a monopoly because sometimes it helps other monopolists, too: "Many developers, such as Meta and Reddit, have taken the tools that Apple provides to build their own in-app browsers. Apple cannot reasonably be described as controlling such in-app browsers, and it is therefore inappropriate to include them within the scope of Apple’s potential SMS designation. "
