The way this always works is the law says “X”, then various parties come up with self serving interpretations of what “X” means, if they don’t mutually align they may go to a judge to figure out who’s definition of “X” will prevail.

It’s a dance, everybody knows the steps. Tech companies know the longer they can keep making money with their version of “X” the better - even if they know damn well they will lose when it goes to trial - which can take over a decade in some cases.

Microsoft practically invented the game, Google and Meta perfected it, and Apple is catching up.
