Another decision that sounds nice in a Cupertino office and will cost them a few billion in fines along the way. These laws exist to protect European citizens. Them being abroad or not is none of Apples’ business. EU could even start fine stacking, since geolocating customers for their private peeves (preventing a worldwide market for iPhones with 3rd party apps.. why is that worth so much?) seems against GDPR as well.

The cancellation of the Epic Games developer account by Apple now on HN front page is another example. Apple has lost its marbles. You have a company creating gold from silica that has an another gold mine around the corner. Why the fear of playing somewhat nicely? Cannot imagine their moats crumbling by these comparatively tiny problems.
