I bought some music from Apple years ago and it has been hard just to figure out how to play it in the last few versions of their app.  Apple keeps wanting to take control of your music.  After a couple of years of fighting it out with Apple I went to Spotify.  Much much better service if you’ve given up on fighting streaming.  Apple’s podcast app has gotten lots of negative reviews last year or so.  Just giving Apple a check on having podcasts doesn’t make for a good comparison of services.  My nephew partly sold me on Spotify when he said no one he knew at college was using Apple Music.  Apple's applications are not best in class.  They need to turn their apps over to a separate subsidiary that's interested in beating the competition.

The US Commerce Department is more likely to use the information against US companies than foreign companies since the influence over foreign companies is far less great.  The tendency will be to impose a US industrial policy that the US Commerce Department considers better for reason X.  Best if TSMC and others keep every company’s name out of their replies.
