Proponents of EU competition law seem to be the most egregious version of “America isn’t the center of the world.” Why should international companies build products to align with regulation that has put the nail in the coffin of European innovation?

They don't have to, Apple is free to leave the market if they really don't think it's worth it.

That reminds me of Zukerberg's bluff saying he's going to leave the EU which lasted exactly one day.

The DMA is barely past the toddler stage. I think it’s a bit premature to claim lids on coffins here.

It’s not just the DMA. The EU has been regulating innovation to death for decades.

		Typical meme comment with zero substance. The DMA is a competition-promoting regulation which will breed innovation as long as it's properly enforced. Inventing a substandard product and using your market dominance in one area to ensure that nobody can compete with your substandard product is as far detached from innovation as you can possibly be. One size fits all solution with centrally planned development where one person knows best and competition isn't considered a driver of progress, isn't that a very communism-shaped approach to "innovation"? I'm not even joking here and it's bizarre that I'm having to promote the good parts of free market capitalism to someone who claims to care about innovation.
