Why does the EU get all the nice things?
Apple's piss poor Document apps and their horrible Photos app made me give up on the whole ecosystem. The download and upload of photos to iCloud is painful even on fast wifi.

They are also syphoning European data for free to the US which weakens the European position in transatlantic negotiations about bilateral data access for law enforcement (why would the US agree to anything if they can simply issue a domestic court order).
All in all Apple and friends have very little political leverage on EU law making (direct bribes are very risky and rare) and given the size of the European market they will comply with almost anything. If they leave after all, a European competitor might fill the void.
Also many people welcome the regulation of market domineering companies and more won't care. Remember that many European societies are traditionally somewhat sceptical of unrestricted markets and their players.
It's therefore a viable political strategy to continue the path of putting them in their place.
Did you last use these in the 90s? iWork's native apps are great (I can't speak the web apps), and I moved my personal library of 50K photos (many RAW) to Apple Photos from Lightroom after months of evaluating literally every other solution.
Apple Photos does non-destructive editing only, and the nice thing about that is that your captures are always sacrosanct.

I don’t know how Apple’s RAW converter stacks up against professional alternatives, but happily there are great professional options that plug into Apple Photos. (I use RAW Power, created by the lead developer of Aperture.)
