I still think that this isn't about the DMA itself, it's about how the DMA fits into all the other laws and treaties that exist in the EU, including ones created after the DMA was created. Apple is going to force the EU to make decisions, and make them now. If they get fined and forced to make changes, that is cheaper and less risky than potentially unbounded liability (and forced changes) in the future.
