These are all fair questions, and speak to a difference in approach between US and EU regulators. The EU gets a lot of criticism (from US commentators) of the fact that the GDPR and DMA legislation leave a lot to interpretation. It always comes across to me as people wanting to know the hard lines so they can get as close to them as possible, where the intention seems to be to ensure that companies meet the "spirit" of the law, not the "letter" of the law.

Yes, and I'm an European. I don't think this is a matter of spirit or letter of Law, rather it is a matter of rigour or fluffy wooliness of thought.
