Same argument for any case where cooperations bitch and whine about regulations.
Comment on Tech Giants Withholding Products Because EU Regulation like GDPR

This is more bark than bite, imo. They’re just threatening to withhold products at this point, but as the article points out:
- Europe’s a big market and profit focused companies aren’t going to give that up just to make a point
- Those that do will just encourage European competition to step up and fill whatever gaps might appear, which is just fine by the EU.
So… go right ahead. Let’s see how this really plays out.

And the products they are threatening to withhold are exactly the products we don’t want. Last time the tech giants threatened to leave entirely the EU asked when to plan the going away party. The current tactic from the giants isn’t much better
