Not true.

Replace "technologies" with "services and infrastructure" and you're close.

The DMA says that users should be able to choose other service- and infrastructure providers than Apple. Nobody's giving Dell or Microsoft a cut for every software install on a Dell PC, though I'm sure they'd love that.

"Nobody's giving Dell or Microsoft a cut for every software install..."

Isn't that the nature of the OEM agreements they put in place with each other to package their OS?

"For every software install" is very different from "for some preinstalled or promoted software".
