FTC now bringing up the fact that in order for a Microsoft universal app store to work on Apple and Google, the current rules imposed by Apple and Google are an obstacle and it's not guaranteed that they can do it.

If only, hear me out, there was a regulator who could do something about Apple and Google's anti-competitive/anti-consumer practices? :-O
At least the EU is actually doing something about it, which will then make this point irrelevant.
Oh, the DOJ actually IS doing something about it, Lmao FTC.
As an app developer and app user, I am very disappointed that the FTC takes that kind of position. Its sister agency here in the U.S., the DOJ, is actually fighting to open up those app markets.

Also, in the EU there is a law in place to open up app markets.
