The DMA is only vague if you're trying to game it. The rules amount to “don't be a dick”.
Apple's out here asking “well how will I know if I'm being a dick?? I can’t operate under this environment!”
Whereas most people don't have to ask themselves that question
@stroughtonsmith yes and no,
There are areas were the DMA is unclear on how much access the platform vendor must provide day one to third parties.
Eg does the DMA require apple expose apis so that MS and Linux devs can implement iPhone mirroring?
Is this an iPhone platform feature or a Mac feature, so does it fall under the DMA or not?
These are legit questions that are unclear and would likely require a good bit of dev work to comply with securely.
