Title comes from a quote in the video:

> Instead of trying to find a suitable compliant solution, Apple simply made a request to the European Commission to be extempted from their interoperability obligations under the DMA.

EU bureaucrats really earning their name here. Maybe they can realize real choice and innovation will come from allowing different operating systems on locked down hardware, instead of this crusade against Siri AI. Something that is easily fixed by downloading literally any other AI or agentic photo/video/whatever app.

This is a joke right? Like how you can download any browser on iOS as long as they are all running on Apple’s engine.

I am for real browser choice, and also for real operating system choice. You can download other photo apps and not use Siri AI if you don't want to. Not sure why you would think this is similar to the browser situation on iOS at least in the USA. I believe alternate browser engines are allowed in the EU now thanks to the DMA.
