I know some people on here don't like the EU "over regulating/sanctionning" tech companies telling them what to do when they misbehave and refuses to play nicely (eg Apple usb-c, to take one that was clearly controversial on HN), but I really really hope some massive case is coming against the clear monopolistic walled garden abuse that is reappearing lately on the web, it's like the early 2000 all over again.

Google breaking stuff for Firefox, Microsoft breaking stuff for Chrome, ... There is a difference between not bothering to ensure full compatibility and showing a warning, and limiting to your own market.

We can keep pretending smart phones are not two different markets but one unified so apple and google are free to abuse users, but not computers and the web.
