  1. Require Apple to allow alternate app stores.

  2. Require Apple to allow alternatives apps for SMS.

  3. Require all manufacturers to have unlockable bootloaders to install alternative OSes.

These should not be controversial and are about a decade overdue.

That’s so interesting. I hope that once they lose control of iOS, they allow iPads and even iPhone to run full macOS when docked.

It could work like the steamdeck where it can be in desktop or handheld mode. When in handheld mode, certain apps that run in the background, like Dropbox would stop running to maximize battery life or something.

They aren't restricting iPads to iPadOS because of the App Store, but because they want to sell Macs to those who want to use macOS, ideally in addition to an iPad. I don't see it happening.
