    the fact their servers are offshore and the company is offshore doesn’t matter

    This is wrong.

    they’re doing business in the UK by being made available there

    This is wrong.

    thus must be bound to those laws

    This is wrong.

      What are you talking about?! Apple was forced to follow EU regulations and allow side loading, they complied by only making it available in the EU, so the EU can tell a foreign company how to do business in its territory. “This is wrong” and you’re just spouting nonsense. If I want to do business in your country I need to follow your country’s regulations, this includes customer and worker protections.
