   We all know from Apple's history that the last thing Apple wants is   
   interoperability with other platforms (the proof is rampant everywhere).   
      
   We also all know Apple is being forced to care about the customer by EU   
   laws, where we all know Apple implements as little as it can get away with.   
      
   In addition, we all know the Epic deposition showcased Apple executives'   
   emails, which said that the messaging platform is one of the most critical   
   components of the walled garden that Apple does NOT want interoperable.   
      
   With all that in mind, we also all know Apple (and Google) are on the same   
   standards committee - where - we don't really know what goes on behind   
   those closed doors.   
      
   Is Apple stalling?   
   I don't know.   
      
   Does anyone have more data on what Apple's specific objections are?
