Isn't Apple Music really abusive and predatory towards Spotify in the same way? How much of Apple Music marketshare comes from the fact that Apple pre-installs it everywhere, and that Apple Music doesn't pay the App Store tax that Spotify has to if purchased through an app?

Apple never offered nor advertised a free, open platform, so it’s not an apples to oranges comparison. My guess is that without a free tier, and with competition from Amazon, Google, and others, it would be a tough case to make.
-
My question is, regardless of this Google case, do you think Spotify has an equal competitive footing on iOS, given app store cut, non-default install, inability to use on say, HomePod, and other barriers that disadvantage it on iOS, which holds 72% of all industry profits.
-
You’re avoiding the important part of my reply :) Does Chrome? Does Kindle? iOS has never been proffered as open. It’s like Walmart. Different business models have different rewards and risks.

Spotify is more at risk than Amazon which is a huge diversified conglomerate. Apple getting into services puts them into competition with own devs, for EU, Spotify is one of their few unicorns. Open is a red herring, Windows wasn't open either, still got dinged for bundling
-
It feels like this is more about Spotify for you than it is about anything else, which makes it hard to go beyond the trees and see the forest? Music streaming isn’t a business. It’s a loss leader, which is why it’ll end up viable only to corps that can afford to give it away.
-
I think some might disagree (is TV streaming e.g. Netflix a business?) But clear, browsers aren't a business either anymore either, like PDF rendering, so do you think the EU is right to prevent Google from pre-installing Chrome on Android?

Did you read the tweet you responded to? :)

The real scandal is that the EU takes the money and pumps it into the EU budget. Surely redistributing it to companies' damaged by the behaviour would be more honorable, and seem less like an EU cash-grab?

Who gets the $5 Billion? Does it just go in a bank somewhere? Does it fill the pockets of the commission? Or does it get put to good use?
-
For now the $5 Billion are parked by Google bank guarantees until appeals are expired and fine confirmed. Then the European people get that money proportionally each country based on how much each country funds the EU,

That blog post basically neither mentions nor counters any of the three arguments the European Commission based their verdict on. It’s a well-crafted PR-spin, but it doesn’t touch on any of the issues at hand. http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-18-4581_en.htm …
