I wonder how the EU will respond when high-ranking politicians fall victim to third-party app store scams or experience significant data leaks exploited through other browsers. Given that they're not particularly tech-savvy, it raises questions about their preparedness for such situations, and who they will blame for it.
(1) Why assume Apple's browser is more secure than the likely alternatives, Chrome and Firefox?
(2) Those high-ranking politicians almost certainly already make heavy use platforms that allow "side-loading" and alternative browsers. That means the attack surface doesn't change much from where it is right now.
Well, admittedly that's pretty good evidence for your position that high-ranking politicians are stupid. But it also shows that high-ranking politicians won't stray outside Apple's little world even if given the opportunity, so there's no problem to begin with.
I wonder how Apple will respond when high-ranking politicians acknowledge that security is a personal responsibility that Apple was unfit to provide in the first place. That will be a fun discussion, albeit further down the proverbial line.
So Apple needs total control over the entire world, because high-ranking politicians are too stupid to take care of themselves?
I mean, if they had the choice not to buy Apple, they might buy something that they're unprepared to handle, so what you're saying necessarily implies that they have no non-Apple choices at all, or at least no choices that aren't just as locked down as Apple and run in just as hidebound a way.
With all sincerity, fuck you and fuck everybody who thinks like you.
