Im from Europe and i will not use third party apps for anything. And i think that 99% of the Apple users dont really care abot third party apps stores etc. We chose IOS cuz its closed.

    so instead of having place to secure your cards, each bank/creditor will want consumers to have their specific wallet... how awesome!!
    Now which EU tech company will this affect the most?

      I will still continue to use Apple Pay. I have 0 trust in some third party app that will appear suddenly on App Store, made by some "company" with 3 employees in some apartment, lol.
      But yeah sure, let's open everything and make App Store as shady as Play Store.
      Being 100% open is not as good as people think it is. From all the things in there, maybe 50% are bad apps or apps that steal your data. You need to swim in all that sh*t to find the trusty and good apps.
      I rather have my data on Apple servers than on some Russian/Chinese kid basement, who happened to create some "quality free" app, lol.

                  This is the only thing that I agree. But, Apple should open it to all not just EU.
