In the end, Europe could simply price Apple out of their market. Apple is a for profit company. If the fines exceed Apple’s profits in Europe, why do business there?

um…

so those who have been caught repeatedly hacking and bypassing security/privacy rules in order to spy on and manipulate users, in many cases opening them up to malicious code and actors as a BUSINESS MODEL are the ones the eu is relying on to provide security - when apple is offering a rock-solid system - are going to do a good job? 

“Yeah, you know, the country has laws and safeguards to prevent bad actors from bullying you and invading/destroying your life, but in the interest of an open market, we feel that the mafia, the Chinese red guard, Russian hackers, Ukrainian bio labs, and the taliban are best left to decide what to do with you.”

"I would think of it as unwise to say that the services are not safe to use, because that has nothing to do with the DMA," Vestager said about the warnings. "The DMA is there to open the market for other service providers to get to you and how your service provider of your operating system, how they will make sure that it is safe is for them to decide."

Uhhhhh...if the other service providers get to decide how "safe it is" then why wouldn't Apple be allowed to say there are risks? Vestager just admitted that the DMA doesn't have security standards. Didn't the EU previously claim that App Store users would have no idea that they could pay for things on the internet unless a message inside the app told them they could do it? But now Apple isn't allowed to communicate that the security standards will be different...which is definitely true according to Vestager herself.
