Apple announces changes for apps in the European Union

This changes effectively nothing I care about and continues to be completely laughable. Apple has rearranged payment options, commissions and eligibility rules for alternative distribution, but there are no changes whatsoever to the Apple Developer Program or to the utter inability to develop and run my own software on my own devices without paying Apple for the privilege of having it not expire after a week. I complained about precisely this when the EU changes were first announced, again in my Apple papercuts roundup and yet again in my WWDC wish list. The EU keeps ignoring it because, as usual, it glosses over the fundamentals–the right to run your own code on hardware you bought somehow isn’t fundamental enough for EU bureaucrats to even begin to understand.
