Because Europe heavily depends on the US for its defense and because most of MS is by now an extension of the US establishment from a strategic pov (the dividends and the profits still go to MS’s private investors, many of them Americans, but that’s not what the US establishment is really after)

It quite probably will turn out to be fined.
Let's wait (for months or years).
If anything, the fine would be at most a symbolic gesture.
Just think how would hell have broken loose if the same practice had been carried out by a Chinese company or even by a Russian one (such as Kaspersky, let's say).
