This legislation exists so that Apple is incentivised to develop interoperable systems. Apple opted to degrade experience for everybody rather than allow for level playing field.
Gotta open it up so Meta can data farm apple watch user data, and make it so apple watch owners have to type in the 64 character wifi password. Win win for everyone 🙂
If I want to give my data to Meta, the same way I give it to Apple, that’s my choice. If I can’t give it to Meta then I can’t give it to an open source Pebble watch either and that doesn’t sound as good, eh?
Yeah, better to just turn this off. Id rather not have random, unvetted hardware controlling my iphone hardware. Lock all that garbage out. I want my privacy and security.
And if I did, i wouldn’t want it secretly exfiltrating everything about me to third party servers from companies that actively refuse to follow laws and regulations regarding data privacy and protections.
You would be surprised how often people cheap out on their hardware, not knowing how those companies are selling the data about you to make up the rest of the price.

In this weird scenario I think your Apple hardware is perfectly safe, nobody is going to buy and pair third party devices for you forcibly.

Why would you buy it then?

It’s up to regulators and not Apple to be the nanny because Apple uses it to stifle competition. The only free market is a regulated one.
