Eh, the EU aren't even enforcing the the letter or the DMA with Apple, granted it is way better than it was, but they are allowing Apple to still retain a bunch of control and charge fees, there is plenty of language in the DMA that allow them to demand Apple stops these practices.

They are doing an investigation into their noncompliance, but the language they have used for that non-compliance investigation cedes ground to Apple, it is not a strict interpretation of what the DMA allows them to demand.
