The referenced Bluetooth bug on the Github readme seems like a pretty good reason. "We don't want to work around or deal with the bugs on other platforms" seems like a reasonable position.

This bug prevents injecting magic handshake that enables all features. It wouldn't be relevant if Apple didn't block these features in the first place.

Btw it's not some magic feature set they spent years to research. Sub $60 Soundcores have most of them if not all.

This is anti-competitive measures, it's not like it's the only thing they do like this. The charging cables were the same.

If this is about lightning, what connector do you think apple should have used? USB-C came out long after lightning.

Yes because Apple has a monopoly on - Bluetooth headphones you can use with Android devices??

Do console makers have to make sure that their accessories work with other consoles? Do TV manufacturers have to ensure their remotes work with other TVs?

And no you never had to buy Apple branded or licensed charging cables.
