> Just look at the uproar the Flipper Zero created in Canada[1]. Now imagine if you could do that with an iPhone (which has most of the hardware needed) by simply downloading an app.
iPhone users should be able to do that if they have any semblance of control over the hardware they bought. If MacOS supports SDR without any issues, and Apple's own implementation of NFC is good enough, I think this is a silly argument. Enabling NFC access does not turn an iPhone into a Flipper Zero any more than it does with Android, the argument is moot.
If the best reason we can muster is "it would make Apple look bad" then we might as well have put the Magic Keyboard and USB-A/HDMI ports in the garbage and withdraw Apple from the EU economic zone. Apple is perfectly capable of adapting to changes that do not align with their insular and stubborn worldview. Some would even say these changes improve their products.
