I was hoping for a reason that had a basis in the DMA not just feelings.

  I'm not a lawyer so I'm not going to try to interpret dense legal text. We know what the spirit of the law is and I'm operating under the assumption that (1) EU regulators intended to effect real change, otherwise this discussion (and the regulation itself) is entirely pointless. (2) It's obvious that Apple's proposal makes no difference to the status quo, it just highlights the extent of their anti-competitive position. Therefore it's reasonable to assume that the regulators will not be happy with the proposal unless (1) is false.

    If you read the website about the DMA they are talking about business independence, user control, transparency, access and interoperability. There is no mention of fees - so a reasonable fee doesn’t look like it would cause issues. https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/about-dma_en https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/about-dma_en

      It will likely cause issues due to being unreasonable.
