> The EU told Apple that breaking the law would have dire consequences. That's the only reason Apple backed down.

You have no idea that this is what happened. You're the one spreading propaganda.

Why propagandize it at all?

EPIC hates Apple and wants to see the App store dead. Apple reasonably didn't trust EPIC not to play games with the DMA. The EU asked EPIC to give an assurance that they would play by the rules and then forced Apple to accept that assurance. Neither of them won anything. Apple is forced to let EPIC in, and EPIC is forced to accept that Apple is complying with the DMA.

That fits the facts. EPIC isn't a good guy. Apple isn't a good guy. The EU isn't a hero. Why try to paint any of them this way?

No they don't. They are absolutely still able to start a lawsuit, as is the EU.

We likely won't have to wait more than a couple weeks to see the lawsuits filed.

until that lawsuit is filed and we have a judgement, yes, they are.

So then this would be the process of not accepting Apple's interpretation of the DMA.

Thats my point. That is the exact process for which they would be rejecting Apple's interpretation.

So no, they don't have to accept Apple's interpretation, instead they can go through this process.
