Personally, I was shocked that they did the thing that people have been asking them to do for years. I expected them to continue to dig their heels in and ship another halfstep / half-assed measure.

Then go buy the better product, it’s a free market. Whenever Apple is no longer fulfilling the expectations of their customer, they will start to lose market share to their competitors that do. So go ahead, buy that Android tablet.
You’re completely missing the point though.
The reason Apple is literally spending billions of dollars globally fighting against government mandates for opening their ecosystem to third-party app stores is not because of their usability, it’s because they know they have an on-par product with a high profit margin and intend to keep that way instead of doing actual innovation to differentiate their products.
As you even said, there is no difference between them now, so just existing to enhance profits is not a good reason to keep doing things as they are.
