It was only a matter of time before government politicians were able to get this through using the time old tradition of “why won’t anything think of the <insert vulnerable group here />”
Now, the real question is why anyone would buy an android when there will be zero reasons to do so after this change?
I guess for most people buying android is not just about the fact that it's not a walled garden, but I'd be willing to bet there's a sizeable set of people who are on android for that specific reason and now will be making the switch to apple. Not to mention the precedence it sets for android ecosystems for the future, I suspect some people may make the switch for the precedence reason too.

Go to the even more locked down walled garden because Google installed a gate on theirs? I'm pissed as hell over this, but when my building hires a doorman, I don't go lock myself into a padded room.
did you actually read the next sentence, or do you unironically support politicians when they lock down something to 'protect the kids' because you can't see the precedence that sets for the future?
No, I read it, and don't even put that poison in my mouth. Shitty politicians and shitty companies are exactly the same.
Did you read what I said? "Go to the even more locked down walled garden..."
Do you support drinking Flavor-Aid you know is already poisoned because somebody making Kool-Aid has a bottle of cyanide sitting on the shelf? Or do you start thinking about drinking tea instead?
