While Google feels that these rules are 'hurting' more than helping EU consumers at large.

        Nah the EU fines are big enough for the tech companies to come crying to trump about them. They will shut up and do what the EU tells them, just like apple did with USBC. If they dont it wont stop at fines.

          Apple’s USB C is a bad example. They were probably a year or two away from doing that anyway. iPads already used it. Even Macs already used it.

          A better example would be the more recent thing with Apple allowing apps from outside their App Store. Although they’re really dragging their feet with that one—allowing them, but only with prior approval, and oh we swear this app didn’t get approval for security reasons, not because we don’t want competition. Pinky promise!
