Disappointed but not surprised. Their intent is not to comply, so you'll have to sue them at every step for every atom of compliance.

Is anyone surprised? I suppose Apple will care when a lot of money is extracted from their bank account.

Not surprised, I can't still install any app I want on an iPhone despite the DMA/DSA Acts pushing clearly in that direction

FSFE should top caring about Apple and giving awards to Microsoft and propietary software company supporters. Learn a thing or two from FSFLA and stop being a honeypot against libre software.

I wonder how it is that we, as the users, allow it when iOS started allowing third-party. After that we accepted that macOS is more and more closed platform. And I'm hearing constantly something like "Yes, that's wrong, but at least platform is secure". For me security is less about how much platform is closed and more about how educated users are.

On the side note that is interesting, that when first iOS version was released Apple talked that "PWA" will be the future, and nowadays Apple do everything to suppress PWA ;)

Security is not a fixed state, a closed system is not fundamentally more secure as the most vulnerable component is still within the system. The user.

I think it is a valid article but it tries very hard to ignore that it seems like at least 12 (21%) of the requests are currently in development at Apple. If all of them are medium/complex requests then they are all still within the advertised timelime. So yes, technically nothing was released yet but I read at least an implied suggestion that nothing will be, which does not look like a conclusion that can be drawn at the moment.
