"Compliance means that developers get a real chance and that users get a real choice, not buried under a maze of dark patterns from gatekeepers."
"At the same time, it is easy to argue that the implementation of the DMA also means consumers lose choice, in that they can no longer access the pure Apple experience they want."
"Apple has led the way in building a unique, innovative ecosystem that others have copied - to the benefit of users everywhere. But instead of rewarding that innovation, the DMA singles Apple out while leaving our competitors free to continue as they always have,"
DMA seeks to ensure developer access and genuine user choice by requiring platform compliance and preventing options from being buried under gatekeeper dark patterns. The DMA's implementation may also reduce consumer choice by preventing access to a pure Apple‑curated experience that some users prefer, because Apple's platform provides a distinct ecosystem. Apple maintains its ecosystem is unique and innovative and does not dominate its markets, pointing to competitors like Samsung that sell more smartphones. Apple contends the DMA singles out its ecosystem while leaving rivals free to continue established practices.
