the maximum EU fine for that is high enough to bankrupt Apple. They won't do it.

I don't think Apple will remove side loaded apps at a massive scale, but let's be real. Apple is worth more than a trillion. If the EU fines them enough to bankrupt, they will just leave the EU and not pay the fine. US would go to war with the EU before they allow such amount of money to be transferred to the EU.
