I'm asking around, curious about your opinions.

EU continues pioneering new digital legislation called DMA, which is aimed at big guys in tech to open up their platforms for more choice.

Do you think it can become successful, or blatant?

It sounds like a good idea, but the biggest issue I've seen are app stores - owning a proprietary app store and charging admission for 3rd party apps, as well as forcing all recurring revenue to go through the store is monopoly power - and we have laws against that kind of thing.

Yeah, sometimes I'm a little surprised at what companies get away with despite there being laws. Though, thinking of mobile devices, there are both Android and Apple devices in the market, so technically I'm not sure if they'd be seen as monopolies. It feels like app stores are where things are trending though, as Microsoft also has their store app for Windows now. I've seen some people say they prefer getting their software from those stores, as they feel like they're generally safer than downloading software from any external site (though I like not being restricted to only installing software available from an app store).
