“Pushing” their services is one thing. Blocking access to the NFC, as Apple does with iPhones, is much worse. IMHO, neither should be permitted.
Why not block? Apple makes the hardware and the os. They should have control over the things they make.
Imagine picking a gas station based on your car model...
I’m going to introduce you to Tesla.
Well Tesla is starting to open up the charging stations, plus just about every EV manufacturer is moving over to the NACS plug standard in 2025, NACS is the Tesla plug standard.
How is that the same? Tesla doesn't force you to use their superchargers you can charge anywhere really: charge point, evgo or any of the other options. More of the reverse is true where you can't use superchargers in other manufacturers, but like the other user commented they are opening that up soon albeit not all stations just a portion.
