I think we should expect Apple and Google to fight this tooth and nail. I'm sure they've been following it and looking at ways to exploit any holes that are in it.

In short, I expect it to be years before we can do most of the things you list in your post. There will be lots of court cases before we, as consumers, see any real change.

The EU doesn't operate the same way the courts do in America. The EU will require Apple/Google to cooperate with the changes while any cases are ongoing. If these cases take years to settle, so be it. If Apple/Google wins, any damages are back-paid.

Regulators have learned from GDPR.

Enforcement for the large gatekeepers is with the commission,and they have a good amount of tools to enforce compliance.

I'm sure A/G will try to drag it out, but it won't be years.
