    If your argument won't get past your low-pay street cop, it's not going to pass in front of anyone else either.

    The way these things work is that if one big/powerful company gets slapped hard for something, the rest will figure it out without the need for intervention. Feel free to educate yourself on that topic, there's plenty of info on it online.

          Starting with the Epic Games battle, the EU found out they could simply send citations to these huge tech corporations for some extra € income. They've been on that mission ever since that threatening compliance here and there. Lmao. 🤣

          I'm still waiting for them to go after ARM holdings for its ARM architecture monopoly. ☺️

There are only two countries more populous than the EU and China and India taken together generate less revenue for Apple than EU alone. It's about purchasing power, not number of people.

                          Apple, you got this. All you need to do is allow multiple Apple ID accounts for the app store from different regions, just like Google Play Store.

                                apple should stop selling/service in the eu and should start focusing on more populated countries than eu.

                                if eu thinks this way than they should start their own gov made services like china and leave from using rest of the world technology and services.
