Because they don't have the numbers to matter, that's why. I know it can be hard to keep several distinct conditions in the head at once, but it's important to remember that just because one can satisfy a single condition does not mean a law which requires several conditions to be true will necessarily apply.


I think you misread my comment. The EU is forcing Apple to support alternative app stores for watchOS and tvOS. These are not general purpose devices and they have comparable or lower sales than game consoles.


I also misread your point. Is watchOs and tvOS targeted by this ? I thought they were exempt, the same way macOS is exempt.

As I read it they're subject to the anti steering and alternative PSP ruling, but not app downloads nor alternative app stores.

That's two limitations the other platforms don't have.
