If there hadn't been such transfer pricing shenanigans, then the laws would have been written on profit. Because there's little to no profit shown in many entities in the EU, the laws were written on revenue.

More generally, the whole point of getting absurdly large (and such to be covered by DMA etc) is precisely to extract more monopoly profits.

GDPR is different, in that one can easily imagine a low margin company getting hurt by this, but in that case they should invest in compliance, rather like these (mostly US) companies do for US laws.
