As far as I understand it, the DMA forbids them from exploiting their dominance in the search engine space to promote Maps. This is similar to the mobile space where users must be presented with a choice of their preferred browser and search engine.

I believe they would be legally okay if they presented users with a choice of their preferred Maps provider (e.g. Google Maps, OSM, Bing, or Apple Maps), but they've decided to implement it in the most obnoxious way possible.
