As the EU pushes for broader access to Apple’s APIs and alternative app distribution methods, it risks undermining the very foundation of trust, privacy, and security that defines Apple’s ecosystem. Regulation is necessary—but without a nuanced understanding of Apple’s architectural commitments, such mandates could force rushed, unsafe implementations. Excellence cannot be legislated into existence; it must be designed with intent, not imposed with a deadline.  

As an EU-based company deeply reliant on innovative products from the United States—particularly Apple’s hardware and services—we are increasingly concerned about the impact of rising tariffs and political posturing on global trade. In a time when economic recovery is more crucial than ever, short-term protectionism threatens long-term prosperity. It is imperative that governments focus on stability, cooperation, and open markets, ensuring that innovation and growth remain accessible to businesses and consumers across the globe.  

As Microsoft celebrates 50 years of innovation, we proudly reflect on our 15-year partnership that has shaped and empowered our journey at Burzcast.
