This was from 2018, and google has gotten worse.

Do the fines get reapplied for the 8 years that passed while they did nothing?

Google has what, 100B+ revenue in EU? This is a once-only, 4% fine from 8 years ago.

Still too little.

The point of fines is to correct behavior, not to cause financial ruin.

And yet, history and the present moment shows that fines alone do not change behavior. They are simply incorporated into the budget. Google has revenue far in excess of the fine due to their monopolies and that will continue to unabated.

I'm not sure I follow; they were given 90 days to comply with certain requirements from the EU, which they did, and the fine was something extra that took a while to resolve in the courts.
