Some antitrust lawyers at Microsoft are presumably having an aneurysm about this. "We got shaken down for a billion dollars for shipping a video player with our consumer iOS but the world's biggest ad company using world's biggest browser to police non-customer ads is kosher?!"https://twitter.com/Techmeme/status/1059503351916834816 …
This isn’t an analogy. It’s an allusion to the historical fact that EU fined Microsoft for anticompetitive behavior for bundling Windows Media Player.

Sure, but the EU didn’t fine MSFT for shipping an anti virus, which is the closer analogy. chrome:site-with-malware-ad:adblocker is analogous to Windows:app-with-virus:antivirus
