the existing os alongside the new instructions could restrict apple plenty

unless you are saying you have inside knowledge about the amount of refactoring and new development necessary to comply, that would be fascinating to hear more about

such restrictions would be likely to spill over into customer impact

> you’re speculating

which is essentially the same as providing an estimate in a work setting

so… yes

I don't think it would actually restrict Apple. So far they are the owner of the playing field (iOS) and also invite other players (vendors) to play there, but whenever they also play they reserve the right to step in areas of the field noone else is allowed to.

They are now no longer allowed to play like that, so that maybe adds a new burden to them compared to before. But I wouldn't chime in on the framing how much they are suffering from that...
