I've become so jaded by the EU that was expecting the worst from this, so kudos

Let's see how quickly it'll resurface again

I was jaded by this proposal as well, but jaded by the EU in general?

GDPR, forced interoperability from gatekeepers, the 2 year warranty on anything bought online

This attempt at breaking encryption completely stood out with the usual things

The EU seems like the only governmental organization that's working well to improve my life, in my country. Everything else is either decaying or opposing my values.

I'm still bitter about their half-baked cookie law that instantly made web browsing a much worse experience, regardless of how well-intentioned it may have been.
Specifically in the digital space the DMA and DSA try (and will probably at least partially succeed) to break the plattform feudal rule and move their role more towards that of a public utility by restricting how they can use their market power.

That'll have a massive (I think positive) effect on the digital economy.
