There's many iOS only apps that either don't have anything comparable on android or the alternative is just nowhere near as good (a lot of it is more creative-focused stuff)
Would you mind mentioning at least one? Not something niche (as there is lotso of niche apps in Playstore which appstore will never see) but something sizeable userbase would install?
Flightly is really popular on iOS, there's not really a comparable android version. Gentler Streak and a lot of fitness app also don't have comparable android versions - most of the examples I can think of are apps that focus (and charge for) good design
A lot of people question the "effective" part of effective altruism, and simply saying "we support more effective giving" is not convincing, especially when the most public figurehead of the movement is/was a convicted fraudster.
Should they have to un-bundle Windows Explorer, Notepad, Photo Viewer, Control Panel, and all the other utilities as well, under the same logic? If not, why?
1) technically? yes, absolutely- apps like explorer or photo viewer should only use public APIs so other companies can make comparable apps on the OS with 90% market share
2) these are all OS utilities, not workplace apps - there's a big difference between Adobe/Microsoft Office/Google bundling their apps where there's a very clear, very powerful disincentive to compete vs something like explorer.
I think part of the problem is "what is an OS utility" and "what is an app". All your OS configuration could be done via a REST API, text files or some other well defined protocol. So you could have competing configuration apps that all help you manage your config in their own way and unbundle the control panel. Realistically looking at your average sparse linux distro shows just how "minimal" an OS can be, and even they bundle applications. Yet, I realistically don't thing consumers or the tech market at large would be assisted by a law mandating that all operating systems be as minimal as the linux kernel (no GNU/Linux, that's bundling!). And even if you did go that far, now we get into arguments over monolithic kernels and micro kernels.
sorry, no, that shouldn't be allowed either. as someone who's working on a cloud task scheduler, OS's should be forced to unbundle thread management. Linux needs to be banned in the EU until it doesn't come with a default thread manager.
Zulip is more of a Slack-like instant chat system with threading as a first class citizen; CQ2 looks like threads only exist in the context of one "root" document vs a channel in zulip where threads can intermingle.

But what if you flip the things the other way around; deepfake porn is problematic not because porn is per se problematic but because deepfake porn or deepfake revenge porn is made without consent, but what if you give consent to some AI company or porn company to make porn content of you. I see this as evolution of OnlyFans where you could make AI generated deepfake porn of yourself.
Another use case would be that retired porn actors could license their porn persona (face/body) to some AI porn company to make new porn.
I see big business opportunity in the generative AI porn.
Which is why this should be a much more decentralized effort. Hard to take someone to court when it's not one single person or company doing something.
