hard to prove something malicious is it follows the vague wording...
well if DMA says that you must enable competition to develop and publish Alternative app stores free of charge and restrictions and you put in a "Core Technology Fee" that makes most if not all competiting companies not want to develop an app store does that mean you are maliciously complying, not complying at all, or vaguely complying?
i dont know but if they did comply with how the DMA was worded there certaintly would not be this many investigations not even a full month into the law.
Im not picking only on Apple, it goes for every big tech company.
US is very liberal when it comes to data privacy, pro consumer protections, pro repair, pro user choice and many such things.
EU is not like that and it certantly cares more about its citizens in that regard.
What US population think is gov overreach is simply what US wants to do but cant because all of the lobbying big tech does so nothing changes and their bad business practices keep on running smooth.
I dont know how many of you are Software Engineers/Web developers but before DMA came into the force, Amazon Web Services where you can host and run your apps from charged CRAZY amount of $ if you wanted to move to competing cloud provider and when DMA came into full effect they fully complied with the law not only for EU customers but world wide and made it a lot better and simpler to move if that is your decision and even worked on becoming better competing service so business customers dont want to leave..
This is a prime example of how you comply with good faith and make your overall product better than the competitors in many regards.
