Indeed this, it's more about platform control.

I really hope the EU will succeed in forcing Apple to allow third party app stores. That would be a game changer. People that are happy to stay in the walled garden can simply not use any other app stores but for someone like me it will open up iOS as an actual option I can choose. Right now there's too many things I can't do on iOS.

Though honestly, I'd be even happier with a real third option instead.

What do you need iOS to do?

I’d like to write an app for myself, side load it, and Apple not have to give me special permission to do what I want. Right now, I have to have a “shortcut” start my own app (for simming) to change some device settings, then remember to change them back after the session. But if Apple would allow you to do whatever you want without their permission (on your own device), my life would be a bit simpler.
