    The “good standing” rule is the most problematic one - but I don’t see it lasting.

    Keep in mind just last week Apple described Epic Games as “verifiably untrustworthy”… only to immediately backflip and decide to trust Epic. I can see the same thing happening here.

    Two continuous years and a million existing customers is way too high a bar. It’s literally impossible for any new developer to meet that criteria unless they first spend years deploying apps inside Apple’s walled garden and the entire point of the DMA is to get rid of that wall.
