So I'm glad this is not the case yet, but Apple specifically have been doing this more prominently than others and it starts with platform handicap (for instance make it almost impossible to create applications in other ways beyond their proprietary API aiming things like the Web).

FAANG's are feeling that the antitrust guillotine is near their heads, so things will be a little quiet for now, but once the dust have settled they will probably keep doing what they were doing before, unless of course a proper legal framework come to rescue.

But as the political class have more urgent matters to take care of, i think this legal sophistication we urgently need will not be a priority.
