Some gatekeepers (i.e. Apple) will probably consider no longer offering messaging services in the EU rather than be forced to open the platform under the DMA and potentially break their E2EE under the DSA. Also, the DMA isn't requiring that services use a standardized protocol for interoperability, so in practice this probably means that integrating with a gatekeeper's service means following all their rules and keeping up with periodic changes to their API. Maybe I'm just being over-cynical but I think we'll have to wait and see how effective this is at creating widespread interoperability.
