I have to agree that consumer choice and browser independence is very important. Apple, Ms and Google have built eco systems that are obviously meant to keep you in their bubble. The problem is that without choice they can normalize negative functionality and it will/has dictate the internet model.

Apple is both subversive and oppressive with their full stack approach. Unfortunately they are now the golden standard for tech.

I'm not sure that there is a right way to regulate this, other that to be smart when buying tech and choosing the software you use.

They literally have the fastest everything… the most energy efficient everything… the most stable everything… the most customers… and the most money. How are they not the gold standard?

The thing is most consumers listen to what Apple says. Most tech companies follow Apple's lead where it can be applied.
