Background (which also explains why it's being rolled out in France first): https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/jan/06/france-fi... - on January 6, Google was given 3 months to fix this, with a 100k fine for each additional day.

I'm wondering why it took slightly but not significantly more than the 3 months. On one hand, adding a button doesn't have to take 3 months despite all the necessary reviews etc., not if it's actually considered a priority. On the other hand, if the benefits were considered worth the fine/fee, you'd expect a bigger delay.
