Apple spent twenty years building the ecosystem Spotify and Epic want to exploit for free. At least Google had the gumption to rip them off wholesale instead of just crying about it.
From a strict, technical reading of the principles of business, i’m guessing Epic and Spotify will be encouraged to “pound sand”.
"They broke the law fair and square" is an odd defence.
Agreed, google should have lost.
You have misunderstood me. You said "Apple spent twenty years building the ecosystem Spotify and Epic want to exploit for free." I'm pointing out that the amount of effort Apple put into building the ecosystem is immaterial to whether they're doing illegal things with it.
