And Apple has been in the forefront to normalized the "a war on general computing" for more than a decade now.
15 years ago this is exactly what we said was going to happen with the normalization of Apple's locked down ecosystems, and now here we are.
Why single out one company? Microsoft's mobile platform was just as locked down. Microsoft's hold over boot keys is a lock down that even spreads to other OSes and will be very relevant in the future I foresee. All pieces are falling into place for the final rag pull.
And like I said, I do not believe this move is because Apple paved the way. If they hadn't, Apple would make a similar announcement to Google now in 2025.
