There is already legislation in process that would do a hell of a lot more than this change including giving vendors the ability to sell entirely via their own store.

If lawmakers are already going to give you 200% of what you originally asked for why on earth would you settle for half?

Because even in the best case scenario, you’d have to wait a half decade before getting that supposed 200%.

That’s assuming it passes at all. A bill must get actually passed by both houses of congress and signed into law by the president. Until then, it’s vaporware.

And then, once a bill is passed, someone has to enforce it, and that enforcement likely has to work its way through the court system.
