It’s nice to see the EU bringing forward the world, basically.

My question is why are they only targeting very specific platforms. If they wanted to see true change they would target all platforms equally.

I challenge the EU to force all "gatekeepers" like the auto, health, banking and most of all start with government to also open their hardware and software stacks. Drink your own kool-aid.

My loose understanding here in the EU is that they do, it just doesn’t make the headlines because it’s boring routine bureaucracy.

My ignorant take on the matter is that they take on specific platforms that have created global-scale monopolies that are extremely hard to break if left to the "free market".
