It doesn't in the USA, because antitrust laws are seldom enforced. Hence "inflation" and shit like this.

- TeMPOraL 3y agoAntitrust law doesn't help when "fucking over the customer" is a local minimum for the whole market. Everyone will independently arrive at the "solution", and outcompete those who won't.

- michaelmior 3y agoAntitrust is also difficult to enforce. I would rather see laws that require manufactures to provide a reasonable amount of local control for devices. Aside from avoiding situations like this, it also avoids bricking devices when services are shut down. It also seems perhaps easier to enforce although defining what constitutes a reasonable level of local control could prove difficult.
