&gt; Obviously they&#x27;ve found a loophole<p>Yes, Apple and any number of other companies have all cleverly discovered the sneaky loophole that was created unintentionally and has been left open purely by oversight for lo, these many years.<p>If the loophole wasn&#x27;t created at the behest of lobbyists, it&#x27;s been kept open and&#x2F;or widened by lobbyists. Whether or not Apple itself had anything else to do with that, it&#x27;s part of the playing field now and it would be corporate malpractice not to use it. The way for a company to help fix this problem is not to become less competitive on principle, but to use their lobbying power to adjust the whole playing field.
