Couldn't someone fork Android and get a head start that way? As I understand It android is FOSS at its core.

Yes but only oatmeal (no toppings).

You can certainly argue that more control makes iPhones safer, since its harder to get malicious software on the phone. But Apple is also abusing their control for their own gain.

You could also argue that locking you in a room would be safer than letting you walk freely out in the world. But I don't we want that either.

There isn't really any getting away with. If what Apple does is within the law then the EU can't prevent it. I'm sure somebody is looking into preventing Apple from doing it, but propper legislation takes time.

Not just good enough software. Also good enough cameras and good enough processing power. None of which curenty match humans so this is not a valid argument.

The camera only system is just worse at everything.

Sure it is. You just confiscate the infrastructure that operates them here on earth, and order their employees to comply.

I don't think that this would be a good idea, but it is definitely doable.
