One arguing that sn established0 pattern of behavior will continue into the future is not a slippery-slope fallacy. There is nothing fallacious about arguing that Apple will continue to make the OS more restrictive in the future, based on a profit motive.

"The core of the slippery slope argument is that a specific decision under debate is likely to result in unintended consequences." [1]

I don't see any claim of unintended consequences here.
