EU mandated Apple to allow sideloading, can we have a state like California to mandate sideloading in it's state? This is anticompetitive practice.

God, I miss Lina Khan

    If the EU mandated it from Apple, how are Google managing to get around that?

    See my comment on this thread, but TL;DR

    Apple still requires signatures for side loading.

    Google is doing the exact same, basically „You can sideload from other App stores, but every app needs our approved Signature” that apple is still doing in the EU

    You are misinformed.

    Apple was Mandated to allow different app stores, but you still need a valid signature in order to install those, so you still need an apple account, you still need to put in your full name, and you still need to pay them 100€\Year for the licence.

    Also, Apple can still Revoke anyone's signature if they don't like your Apps.

    They still have their app store.
