That's exactly the thinking that led to the Digital Markets Act in the EU. Those marketplaces are effective monopolies or oligopolies in their space, so access to them needs to be regulated to ensure a level playing field.

    Ahh yes, another premature declaration of success by the EU, who haven’t properly enforced ePrivacy, GDPR, or a host of other regulations.

    The EU is all talk and posturing, you can write any law you want but the tech companies already figured out compliance is optional.

      Apple have already started using USB-C in iPhones, have already announced how they'll allow apps to be installed on iPhones without their App Store. Google have stopped shoving Google Maps on Search results.

      Many companies, including Google, Facebook and similar, have changed how they do things because of the GDPR, and have been fined for not complying.
