> No, they're OK with Google apparently not changing much of anything and being allowed to continue operating so long as they pay the fine first.

This is false. They were asked to:

- Stop tying Google Search and Chrome to the Play Store.

- Permit competing Android versions.

- Stop exclusivity incentives for Google Search.

- Provide genuine room for rival search engines and browsers.

This is separate from the fine and they were given 90 days in 2018 to comply with the above.

Do you mean they were asked in 2018 to comply, but not fined until they refused? I only see things like https://www.reuters.com/article/us-eu-alphabet-inc-antitrust... where they were fined in 2018 for anti-competitive practices going back to 2011, and since then changed behavior while trying to appeal.
