EEE doesn't have to work to be considered anti-competitive. The intent is nefarious, it's trying to attract people by offering a veneer of good grace and good intentions, only to capitalize on it once you've attracted a strong enough user base that you can get away with closing things down, squeezing things in, and calling the shots.

So it be great if their proprietary remote extensions fail and they are forced to open-source them and make them a standard, but clearly the intent right now is that they don't fail and it gives them a leverage over their competitors.
