So at least part of the the story is that laws allow Apple to get away with this.
Get away with what? You make it sound as if the company is doing something wrong.

Why do I suddenly, according to them, need a smartphone just to do basic shopping?
What's the problem with needing a smartphone to shop in a particular grocery store? Almost everyone already has one when they are in-store anyways. Some of them actually use the phone for payment on the way out. Why not make use of this device everyone already has in their pocket in order to streamline the shopping process further? Amazon has already demonstrated this works in their cashier-less convenience stores. I you ever had a chance to try those stores, Id think you would agree that the experience is far better than what one would get at a traditional convenience store.
