The issue is that the EU is (rightly, IMO) investigating based on what humans do instead of what they could do. Could companies say no and choose a competitor?

Could companies say no and choose a competitor? Probably. But it would take more effort than saying yes, even if the product is worse. It is therefore reasonable to ask whether MS knew that including Teams the way they did would have the effect of killing competition, which is bad for consumers and therefore illegal.
- bilekas 3y agoOkay.. fair enough. I'm by no means a corporate shill.. but having free add-ons to your product just doesn't strike me as anti competition.. Not allowing you to change your default browser for example, absolutely anti competition. But this seems a little bit of a stretch to me personally.
