The tone seems completely professional? I'm not sure where you're reading the "palpable rage" from. Because they used the word "already"? I'm not seeing it.

That being said I agree with them, the reason android is a buggy, low quality piece of crap is because of their lack of control over their platform. Apple should be able to closely guard the apps that get on users phones because its Apple that will be judged, not the app. We're going to see lots more malware for sure. Lots more dark patterns. I'm not surprised they resent it.
Nobody has installed an app, yet alone a stable one, prior to Apple. My Windows desktop currently is on fire in the corner of my office.
I try to dial 911 on my crappy Android phone but alas, it a buggy piece of shit and catches fire too. "I'll just put that with the rest of the fire..."
I literally have had one app have a problem on my phone in the last 12 months. You know what I did? I reopened it.
Funny you mention windows, an OS I also associate with low quality, scummy programs. Also chock full of adware, but that's not really relevant here.
You have to install Chrome from Safari, because its not in the app store, and instead there's a bunch of fake results for Chrome.
There is an entire Wikipedia article on the history of malware for iOS.
These are just facts. I don’t see any anger involved.
Obviously opinions differ on how to manage the risk. A lot of people think a more open ecosystem is worth the risk.
This paints it as an unfortunate UX blight demanded by the DMA.
