After that, Apple would ban OSM apps from their store.

I could totally see this happen.

Not in a direct manner, but something about "OSM not living up to Apple's high standards of privacy" or similar strategy.

why would they do that when Google Maps and Waze are already bigger competitors?

[–] jabjoe@feddit.uk 10 points 2 months ago

Waze is now also Google. Apple can and does extract/extort lots rent/ransom from Google. OSM doesn't have the pockets. They, like lots of FOSS, undermine the whole scheme.
