Because they are not "gatekeepers", a term defined by the DMA which focuses on specific sectors.
Also the video game ecosystem is pretty healthy these days, with nearly every major game available on Windows at launch or a few months later. As a matter of market competition, letting you hack your game console or smart TV or whatever just isn't that relevant.
- arminluschin 3y agoFollowing your line of argument, isn’t the app ecosystem the healthiest of all, with nearly every major app available on Android and iOS?

The rules has been ok (and that's why most business didn't care about the 30% fee), but lately the rules has been only in Apple's favor. And with their ubiquity today, it's more rent seeking than curation.
