If Apple had e.g. required competitors to undergo similar independent audits that would probably be allowed as it is quite similar to how Apple solved the third party app store issue.
Are we sure the EU would allow that? Or would it be seen as a way to stifle competition?
I mean, Apple's PCC audits require them to individually vet each auditor before they're allowed to see the PCC nodes.
If Apple extended that philosophy to other vendors then yeah, it would be deliberately unfair and anticompetitive.
