Gee, I wonder why. Maybe you should re-examine this statement:
>This is has nothing to do with the companies being European.
https://competition-policy.ec.europa.eu/antitrust-and-cartel...
Read article 3 paragraphs 1 and 2 and tell me this wasn't written to target like five US tech companies in total.
The LED example you gave is actually a great one: I don't think the regulator cares if you're using LED or not. The intention is to reduce the usage of lightbulbs that aren't as energy efficient as modern technology allows them to be. If you can make a incandescent lightbulb that is as efficient, good for you. No one has targeted incandescent light.
Same here. Yes, companies this size are almost only American (and Chinese). That doesn't mean that American companies were the target.
Apple is welcome to vacate the EU if it finds it all too onerous.
What? These European companies are exempt? Crazyyy
