Good! I'm looking forward to having to uninstall a crypto miner on my mom's phone because it told her the only way to play a slots app is to allow third-party apps.

The "won't someone think of my mom" argument. Somehow we get by just fine on x86 with arbitrary software being allowed, but for IOS it's unthinkable?

Yes, but we need more anti-trust for all of them. Edge has been repeating the old Explorer tricks and Google pay-for-play is even worse (if Apple didn't get a cut, would they be as willing to push the increasingly ad-infested google search?)
Google's thing is just a default, no? Consumers can change it?

#58I guess iPhone will soon be as awesome and open as Android!
as long as the first party iOS experience is still solid, I don't care. If apple has to prevent updates / services to 1p services because 3p cannot keep up, then I'd be pretty incensed. There is a reason i left android last year!
I know Android does it, but Android's got many years of experience doing it, and it's generally not as smooth as iOS.

Those are not considered general purpose computing devices under the current legislation, so no. It's currently targeted at mobile phones.
