Right. It mentions it. But it doesn't say that Apple has to transfer ownership of that tech to anyone.

No it doesn't. All I'm going on is what it said.

Which is something that they can legitimately require of Apple as a requirement of selling their products in the EU. And it's not a tax.

Don't recall saying anything about a tax.
At any rate, your point is only partially valid. Does Microsoft have to release Windows source code to operate in Europe? No, they don't. There's a line between ensuring interop and company secrets.
