#12I don't think I've ever read a company whinging so much about having to obey the law. Comes across like a petulant child.
Clearly you haven’t read Apple’s responses. They were even worse

#15I know everyone loves hating on Google here, but some of the changes that they were required to make are genuinely quite annoying. Maps results on the search page don't work like they used to. Clicking the mini-map doesn't open to Google Maps anymore, so you have to relearn some behaviours. I know it's minor stuff (for now), but as a long time happy user of Maps, this kind of thing does not benefit me, and I don't get a say in it.

#16This is a great argument for breaking up Google because they've created an anti-competitive environment where other parties cannot succeed without Google gatekeeping them.
Why should the other parties succeed? IE the aggregator sites? Is it merely because they exist?
If I make an aggregator aggregator, should I be able to demand placement on Google search results above mere aggregator sites?

1.) Click the mini map when the result comes up.
2.) Click the button in the bottom right of the mini map that says, "Open in Maps".
Voila!
Literally just one extra click or tap - what's the issue? Is a single extra tap really "genuinely quite annoying"?

Your unspoken premise is that the law in question is reasonable.
