I don't trust anything EU related, what a bunch of sick clowns. Apple created and run their own App Store, and any developer signing up knows about and agreed to the rules regarding the cut, etc.

By the same token, Apple knows the rules of operating within the EU but then again this isn't about agreeing to Apple's rules but if the rules themselves are 'legal'.

Apple should go to war against the EU. Their rules are often changing and new rules are constantly being made up all of the time. Perhaps it's time to break up the EU. That already seems to have begun, thankfully. 

I don't mean war as in dropping actual bombs on them of course. Apple is not in the business of making smart bombs, not yet at least, though I'm sure that they would look awesome and have a sleek and clean design if it were to happen, but I do mean that Apple should view the EU as an enemy, because that's certainly how the EU views Apple and other American tech giants.

Just the other day, some EU clown named Donald Tusk warned: The world needs to be wary of the rise of tech giants such as Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon, comparing their powers to those of countries such as China, European Council President Donald Tusk said in Warsaw on Friday.

Apple should definitely view the EU as a hostile entity and as their enemy and Apple should treat them accordingly, with great suspicion and with extreme caution.

Every demand and inquiry from the EU should be fought and contested using all legal methods available.

The EU has a habit of trying to shake down certain big and rich American tech companies whenever they need some money.

The EU sure likes to warn others a lot.

If the EU ever tries to break up Apple, then the USA should respond in kind with numerous punitive measures in exchange, including pulling completely out of all military alliances with them, as they're basically freeloaders who don't pay their fair share.
