Limiting the ability for dominant companies to crown themselves gatekeepers and toll all who pass was the intent of the EU rules.
If Apple tries to argue that the one SDK is intrinsically tied to the hardware, and also conveniently is required for apps on any store... that starts to sound a lot like 90s Microsoft and Internet Explorer, except Apple doesn't have the "But it's free" defense.
