Nah, that's a bollox move... Apple have said that the EU users can get this, but not global... thus forcing Firefox and Chrome into fully supporting 2 entire versions of their browser, the one that uses Safari for outside of EU and the one they want to ship within the EU.
Apple are playing very shitty games here.
Equally so with regards to the App Store payment changes which has virtually all app developers in full revolt right now.
Apple are super deep in enshittification, and are playing a highly political and marketing game where they get to point at everyone else and claim it's their fault, whilst Apple are the one that created it.
To be very very clear, despite working in tech, I loathe all big tech. We're living through the biggest transfers of wealth that ever occurred, and Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta (Facebook), are all leading the charge collectively at making the World a shittier place, just to line their own pockets further.
