Hasn't this type of thing already been litigated?

Yes it has, but now, all of our consumer protections have been obliterated

What is the intended enforcement mechanism?

[–] Abundance114@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Companies whose profits are taken sue Apple for not only lost revenue but also punitive damages.

Yes, it has. And Apple (mostly) won.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Games_v._Apple

In January 2024, the Supreme Court denied the full appeals of both Apple and Epic in the case, leaving the case primarily a victory for Apple in allowing them to continue restricting app distribution to their App Store and to continue restricting in-app purchases to Apple's payment systems, but requiring Apple to allow developers to link to external websites offering alternate payment options (off-app purchases).

Ah, I hadn't seen it went to the Supreme Court and ruled this way.
