This is something the EU should really regulate, unfortunately they are busy regulating oat
milkdrink and veggieburgers.The EU hasn’t even been able to stop Apple from doing this shit.
The EU is actively preventing their own people from leaving the Google ecosystem with the Play Integrity API in their own apps.

So at least some part of the bureaucracy are aware of it.
The thing I don’t understand about any of this, is why can’t you comment on ongoing dialogues with the gatekeepers?
I understand the basic tenants of keeping the discussion closed until official statements can be prepared, to prevent the press and the public from going off half cocked. That makes sense for private matters.
