We see "fairness" as "fairness for the customer". Jesus said "justice in favour of the poor". If it's just, saying it's in favour of someone ahead of the judgement is ridiculously biased.
However, if we granted more fairness to the companies, we wouldn't have more or better companies. We'd just be invaded by huge US companies, because they're just better and move faster. So, yes, we have to start with smaller actors who just rely on the openness of the markets of dominant actors: We couldn't build Apple but we rely on their Appstore to have fair rules, we couldn't build Amazon EC2 but our companies rely on the openness of the EC2 service, we couldn't build Windows but we rely on Microsoft publishing its API. And this API documentation is exactly the subject of the $2bn fine that Microsoft received from EU in 2003.
I'm sorry, perhaps US performs too well, but we need open APIs in Europe. From the fines I've seen, the decisions aren't generic protectionism, they're focused on keeping free market so we can have some local startups too.
