Whether or not you agree with their position on JIT, their claim is more complete and nuanced than that. Their actual denial states:

    We have reviewed your submission and determined that your request falls outside the scope of
    Article 6(7) DMA because it is not seeking interoperability with a software feature accessed or
    controlled by iOS or iPadOS and used by an equivalent Apple service. Apple does not itself
    offer emulation functionalities on iOS or iPadOS and it does not offer JIT compilation for non-
    browser apps on iOS or iPadOS.

Specifically they are arguing that since the only application on iOS that is allowed to do JIT is safari and that since they already have access to that JIT capabilities for other browser apps, the DMA does not require them to create a broader JIT capability for all applications.

That’s not a wholly unreasonable stance though I can certainly see how the EU might argue that the capability existing for browsers at all implies it should be available for all applications regardless of their purpose. This does make me wonder about the swift playground app. Is that not using JIT to execute the swift code?
