It’s cute that you think that companies can demand things from film studios.

But in the real world that doesn’t happen and Apple needs their support to get this content on the platform in the first place.

The snark does not really add anything to the discussion.

Apple is the second largest company in the world by market cap. I think they have some leverage.

And yet the decades of on the ground evidence from iOS, macOS, AppleTV and now Vision Pro is that (a) market cap means nothing, (b) Apple has about as much leverage as everyone i.e. none and (c) film studios dictate the rules.

Not for want of trying. VHS tapes were frequently produced with MacroVision that would distort the image on copy.
