I hope the EU cracks down on them like they did with Apple.

Has the Apple situation really improved?

I'm probably out of the loop, but last I checked, to put an app somewhere that's not the official App Store, they required you to pay their hefty fee for putting it in the App Store (even if you weren't going to do that), _and_ an additional Core Technology Fee.

(And if that's still accurate, one thing I don't get is how that isn't also anti-competitive.)

Merely regulating them isn't enough. The world needs to start enforcing antitrust laws. If we don't break up all these big tech companies, our future will be a technofeudalist cyberpunk dystopia.

We haven't broken up all these big tech companies, and we are living in a technofeudalist cyberpunk dystopia.

That escalated quickly.

I think that's actually true. But what does it mean, what's the way forward?
