It's moreso that all major gatekeepers under investigation (note that not all Gatekeepers are under investigation - Amazon and ByteDance aren't) didn't even try to be compliant with the proposed legislation - they attempted to lobby against it, take overly literal interpretations to make the legislation seem crazy and so on and so forth.

They had 2 years to be compliant with the DMA. All of them waited until the last second and all of them have attempted some degrees of malicious compliance with it. Apple is the most outstanding horrible one, but they're all trying to avoid proper compliance as much as possible because they think it'll allow them to squeeze out just the slightest amounts of more profits.

Malicious compliance appears more focused on increasing the pain to the point that users will demand the law be overturned.

That's because management of these companies is all based in the US, and they apparently don't understand that these tactics just don't work at all in the EU.

Their campaign is effective when people like OP say they are innocent victims of regulation which must be tossed

The presumption of innocence shouldn't be extended to trillion dollar companies. You don't get there by being wholesome.

My statement only applies to the court of public opinion, not legal courts.
