The title is misleading. "Allows" need to be in quotes - they did everything they could to make sure this won't change anything in practice. Screw Apple.

Could you elaborate? Other than the "Japan" requirement it seems legit?

I guess the requirements are pretty onerous, but they all seem like table stakes for a browser these days (Firefox or Chrome should have no problem with them, for instance.)

They weren't going to title "Apple forced to allow alternative..."

They are the ones allowing the alternatives because they are the gate keepers. They have "the keys"
