I will call them that.

Let’s say the EU and our tech-challenged Congress agrees with them.

Do they think Apple has no options left?

Apple can put a price on Xcode. They can put a monthly charge on every single copy your organization needs.

Apple can put a per compile charge on Xcode or give you 1000 compiles for free and then start charging.

Apple can put an extra charge on particular frameworks. They could even put a charge on each call your users make to that framework.

Apple could do every one of those things at the same time: Xcode is software, they can do whatever.

I think we need something stronger than “stupid”.
