I guess that's why they say that "would require building an entirely new integration architecture that does not currently exist in iOS and was not practical to undertake given the other demands of the DMA and the very low user adoption of Home Screen web apps"

Well, this is just 'we don't want to do it because our market projections steer us in a different direction, but we really don't have any solid arguments so here is some blah our marketing & legal came up with'.

3 trillion company can implement this without breaking a sweat properly if they cared, what are they trying to say here - 'we are incompetent'? Not buying that for a second, we know they can deliver.

More like "that pesky eu is forcing us to behave like a normal company and we don't like that. Let's punish the users in hopes they'll revolt"

Personally, I'm not concerned with the costs of an EU mandate on Apple for interoperability but that could just be me.

You've not been asked to be concerned. Apple is saying what their reasoning is, and you can believe it or not, but you don't have to feel pitty for them.

Apple is just playing pr games trying to get their cult followers to rage against the DMA which apple hates having to follow. So yes, people are being asked.
