Ditto, seems like Apple’s reliance on Nuance is long gone. I recall at least one keynote where apple discussed how they used machine learning to enhance their voice recognition tech. 
The curiosity is what microsoft would want with them, it’s not like microsoft don’t have this tech in house. 

Just a reminder that if the leader of a country demonises the tech industry, some people will act regardless of whether or not that is a sensible or correct thing to do. 

Apple is a company of nearly 150,000 people. The views of one person talking about lock-in are largely irrelevant, you can probably find any talking point you want over that many people. Even if this was a view held by upper management persistently, it is not an unreasonable one, it truly is the function of a company to reasonably protect their interests.

That said the statements aren't connected and displaying them side-by-side is Epic attempting to infer something that may never have been discussed. There are plenty of reasons for the higher-ups to say that developing for Android won't yield benefits for Apple. Android compatibility issues are well known and a poor iMessage experience on Android is not going to entice people to iOS. Safari on Windows also demonstrated to Apple that cross-platform seeding activities don't necessarily do anything.

Playing the devil's advocate, even if they did say it in that context - a view about one app at one point in time doesn't mean much for how Apple chooses to run their app store.
