Absolutely. And the net result will itself have unintended consequences and ripple effects through the industry; the net result of this fight will not be good for people who care about technology, potentially even for those who agree with the current DMA, because the more legislation has to specify the more likely it is to overreach or have impedance mismatches. When I said "When you try to control something with regulation, don't ever expect good faith.", I was being descriptive, not normative.

Others have famously backfired – I hate cookie notices as much as everybody else. Time will tell how the DMA will fare.
