This is worthless and does nothing about their duopoly as it only seems to be focused on payment methods. I don't give a shit about the payment options for in app purchases if I'm still forced to use the app store or play store to download the app in the first place. This should have been about preventing Google from killing sideloading and forcing Apple to allow it in the first place
