They’re not actually relinquishing any control. They’re just allowing subsidiary “app stores” to take a tiny cut while Apple still controls everything.
I’ve been an Apple fanboy for years, but less so these days. I can’t imagine that the EU won’t fine them for this, although it’s hard to imagine any fine that would make an impression on a $3 trillion company.

With Windows you’re paying Microsoft for the privilege of them turning on a vacuum for all your private data AND showing you ads as well.
If anything Windows is worse than MacOS from that standpoint at this point, and both companies need a huge about face for anti-competitive behaviour.
Both of them undoubtedly need a smackdown for anti-competitive behavior. I would even argue that both need to be broken up. But Windows can be hardened. And again, there’s Linux.
