They could switch to a different mechanism for app stores every month. Force app stores to be rewritten every month to use a procedurally generated new API, developers have to re-apply every month, and users have to go through the laborious setup process every month. And every time, present it with a cheerful message: "To bring a childlike sense of wonder to our customers, today we launch the new improved 3rd party app store API"
Yes, because courts are made of stupid people who won’t see right through this. IANAL, but from what I read, “well, technically…” often does not amuse a judge.
It does take away time and resources. Because each round of "we just followed what the judge told us, Australia/EU/whoever else is bad" will take months
This is why Australian law includes the term "reasonable". So that if it seems like a burden, the court acts.
