The DSA forces platforms to allow federation and to expose public API endpoints. So it solves this because it makes it possible for your to talk with someone on a different app.

The risk being that the experience will be miserable. I can totally imagine a world where you can talk between Signal and WhatsApp, but reactions don't work, sending files doesn't work properly, changing permissions in a group doesn't propagate, etc.

Unless you force everybody to use the exact same protocol, with the exact same features, and to never add or change a feature.

I think there is a baseline specified in the regulation, not sure which features it includes though.
