If you can’t compete, shakedown.

They are competing pretty well. The #1 response to "why you do not have an iPhone?" in the world is "i cannot afford it, else I would." They built a platform so desirable that that is how they are seen. Sounds like they are competing just fine.

The Digital Markets Act is enforced against US companies exclusively and is a trade weapon. If it were not, they'd aim DMA at Euro tech giants like Booking.com. They won't because it's a way to level arbitrary fines on US tech.
