This is false. Python has 3rd party libraries that handle numbers well. Those libraries are not Python

Python has built-in support for arbitrary precision integers by default, with no 3rd party libraries needed.

In Python, you can precisely calculate 100 factorial with a default installation. You can't do that with C++, Java, or Rust.

Apple incurs costs and a hit to its image.

Apple can't just say, "You were stupid and now you've voided your warranty," because EU law doesn't let them say that.
