It seems to me the US would be better off copy-pasting EU regulation than trying to smush apples behavior into old school antitrust violations.

Well, The Justice Department at least can't do that, because they can't write laws.
Since when does “the US” consist exclusively of “the Justice Department” and not, e.g., the FTC (which writes antitrust regulations within existing law) and Congress (which writes laws).
I honestly don't know much about this, but isn't it standard for government lawsuits to be "United States vs John Smith"?

If only US had a sort of a legislative body where you elect people to and then they actually can write laws? That would be great.
This implies the DoJ doesn’t interact with other departments at all, and I don’t think that’s the case.
The EU legislation wouldn’t fly for a second in the US system of law.
