I'm an Apple user and as a user, I'm pretty happy with the walled garden approach and the stores on iOS.
However, I also hold the EU's atttude to anti-trust in fairly high regard, so I'm happy to see them scrutinise this.

The walled garden can stay, but users should have a simple way to opt-out. Like for example SIP on macOS which you can (temporarily) turn off with a terminal command, if you accept the risks of degraded security.
Apple (or Google/any company) should not have the power to dictate which software we may use. Like for example any banking app that wants to use NFC for wireless payments being rejected. It has taken way too long for the EU to step in and forbid this in my opinion.
Apple is best in class in marketing.
