The fine is 0.1% of Google’s net worth. Fuck all.

Yes, they know. It’s right in the OP:
They were not just fined. They were fined and given a warning that, because it was the third time, the next move is to enforce the rules with a court order. Which can include things like preventing them from operating in the EU, seizure of assets, and personal consequences for the decision makers (seizure of assets, criminal charges, etc).

That is literally part of the EU demand.
