It&#x27;s not about limiting consumers actions it&#x27;s about limiting consumer choice in the market place.<p>Related but different. The EU actually has a pretty good case tbh, though I doubt it&#x27;ll lead to very much.<p>Google wants to have the closed control that Apple does (because they want to control the software) but wants to tout their difference in &quot;openess&quot; because they needed that to sell hardware (which they profoundly suck at at scale).<p>Now they&#x27;ve got better at the hardware (see, Nexus lines) they want to slowly choke off competition. This has been obvious <i>for years</i> but there was very little to be done about it other than companies moving away from Android (which isn&#x27;t really practical short to medium term) or some kind of governmental play - which this is.<p>Now... will the EU win? Possibly, it&#x27;s not a slam dunk, but it could lead to small - but important - changes in how Google has to play the game.
