    Apple is kicked and shoved into doing something slightly less restrictive (in EU) (because only EU has common sense and is not corrupt, apparently)

      nah, they are just slightly less corrupt. And they like to mess with American megacorps too.

        The antitrust office is actually about the oldest part of the EU, with roots back in the ECSC: They saw the need to get rid of internal collusion to actually entwine the national coal and steel industries. Think of it as a bigger bully saying “We’re the cartel bosses around here”.

        Messing with megacrops is a feature, especially foreign ones.
