They don't.

That's why the regulation targets "gatekeepers" with revenue in the billions and at least 45Million European users.

The EU decided that this is large enough to be limited in what they can do.

It is curious that there are no European gatekeepers either.

They do. That’s why the EC had to create a new class named “gatekeeper”: because Apple isn’t a monopolist.
