Blaming the EU is stupid MacOS is locked down, for the EU it’s more about apps less about the kernel space.

Security software are also "apps". Since Microsoft is also in the security software business locking down access for their competitors could definitely be seen as anti-competitive practices.

Apple doesn't have a monopoly with MacOS so other rules apply.

My issue with that is Android is also pretty locked down and most certainly does have a monopoly, in general I think it’s just MS being stupid.
