I am only one person but I bet they keep far more tied to the Apple system than they could possibly gain by opening up. No way CAD ever goes Apple because of just RCS. They aren’t dumb and they aren’t hurting for cash. There isn’t much to gain by opening up.
They are a for profit business, it would simply be idiotic to willing hurt their business model.

The market rewards vendor lock-in
That's been identified as a risk to consumers and businesses for ... quite a while. I've tried, many, many, times to implore clients to make their CI/CD pipelines, processes and standards portable between any cloud they may use (AWS, Azure, GCP, private). I explain that it gives them viability to avoid vendor costs increases, makes maintenance easier, makes finding staff to maintain the cloud assets easier, etc. I nearly always get a nod, and a, "That's nice, but we are committed to AWS."
But, it's not different than mainstream beer. If your dad drank Coors Light, you probably drink Coors Light, and will for decades, and your kid will prefer Coors Light, etc.
There is a difference between emotional/social lock in, and functional lock in, but is one more valuable than the other? How many people would never buy a Ford?

My bet is it will take another EU action. Lol
