As an end user no option is the best option.
If there are no options in context, nothing is an option. On top of this arguing in such context that something is the best option its a false argument. This phrase is a contradiction in terms, hence eternally false no matter the context.
Having any option is still false dilemma since the user have no idea what those choices means.
If now you are giving an option to make and it's written in enigma, how will you choose it?
Again you proceed with false dilemmas. You manufactured a scenario where for someone to have options, such as the ones under discussion, the user can no longer understand them. Which of course is not a representation of what happens in reality. When was the last time you went outside your pocket?
I respect your need not to have options on your iPhone. Just accept the defaults manufacturer as provided you and stick with it. How difficult is that? You can ignore the entire Settings page … maybe you should have the option to remove it entirely and throw away the key when setting up your device.
Look. In the EU open communication infrastructure (open regarding people access and supply of digital services, content and software at their discretion and according to the law) members with mass scale business and technical platforms need to conform with some regulations that aim to keep it just like that. That is all. It has proven to be a model that had created unimaginable wealth, it made possible the existence of Apple as an example. No company will be able to hack its openness to their profit trough any kind of device as well intentioned and innovative it might be at some point.
The EU does not seam inclined to implement models as the ones being implemented by China. For instance, making deals with specific companies like Apple, telling Apple which Apps they may or not have in the App Store, including, default Apps all for the give to be able to spy on their citizens in real time. It’s quite the contrary, neither govs or private companies should have such power over hundreds of millions of people and businesses.
Take for instance Amazon, a massive retail close system, yet at no cost, with a touch a button, users can choose a different retailer. Yes they also sell devices locked into their retail business, yet this part of their business it’s not yet at a scale of a Gatekeeper … if that comes they will need to comply with the DMA regulations as well if that isn’t the case.
So the DMA. Take it or leave it. Of course it can change as the problem domain is better understood with the help its members, including Apple. What the EU does not seam inclined to do, is to let companies build super massive closed platforms as part of their open Internet & General Communication infrastructure. That seams to be the kind of approach that more closed economies such as China seam to be more interested in. The Apple challenge of today in China, Tim Cook Apple, is that it’s not a Chinese company, otherwise its policies and marketing would fit like a glove in that region.
Cheers.
