Unfortunately, I have to hope this doesn't see widespread adoption. If this becomes the standard it will just add to already existing social pressure to get an iPhone in the US.

To me this argument makes no sense. Apple should never introduce any new features or services to their ecosystem because it might increase “social pressure” to get an iPhone?

Antitrust laws to prevent companies from abusing their market position.

The US Department of Justice is currently suing Apple for violating those antitrust laws [1]
