That lobbying move has been tried how many times? It hasn't worked once. There is no disagreement along any political lines I can think of.
replyIt's not that we particularly like the EU government here in the EU. But we do like when they make pro-consumer laws.
> Apple have a pretty large vested interest in not supporting interoperability here
replyYeah that needs to stop. This is kinda why the DMA was created in the first place...
It doesn't _have_ to stop - the features just can't ship in the EU while these requirements are in place, which is exactly what is happening here. The law is working as intended, just not in the way the proponents thought it would.
reply> the features just can't ship in the EU while these requirements are in place,
replyYes, they can. Apple wields its duopoly power to try and bend governments to its will.
> purely a lobbying move
replyIt can be more than one thing. It’s a lobbying move, to be sure. But it’s also almost certainly a time-to-market and potentially cost-mitigation play, too.
