The announced changes sound like retaliation. Considering Apple is acting like a sovereign state by collecting taxes from what it perceives as its subjects it looks suspiciously like an act of war.
Not sure what you mean, the announced changes are pretty much the best thing ever to happen to the Apple eco-system. The only bad part about them is they're restricted to EU.
Being restricted to only the iPhone, not e.g. the iPad those liberations are all pretty useless if you are invested in the ecosystem.
This is the first I hear about the changes being iPhone-only, where did you read they are not coming to iPad?
edit: ah looks like some 4y ago Apple switched to a separate iPadOS. Used to be that iOS was both for phones and tablets.
Here they say the most interesting stuff is basically all iPhone-only https://www.macrumors.com/2024/01/26/apple-eu-app-ecosystem-tidbits/
Yeah the Apple doc is all about iOS, not mentioning iPhone or iPad, which made it non-obvious. Especially since both products used to run iOS in the past.
