> The line is blurry. Google is positioning Gemini not just as an app, but as a OS level feature The line is blurry, but Microsoft was positioning Internet Explorer as an OS level feature, too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Corp.#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Cor...: “Microsoft argued that the merging of Windows and IE was the result of innovation and competition, that the two were now the same product and inextricably linked, and that consumers were receiving the benefits of IE for free.” Apple somewhat similarly argued that the iOS App Store is an OS level feature. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Games_v._Apple#Background https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Games_v._Apple#Background: “Apple has further argued that it requires iOS apps to use its storefront to "ensure that iOS apps meet Apple's high standards for privacy, security, content, and quality" and avoid exposing iOS users to risks from alternative storefronts.” In both cases justice departments (the ones who draw those lines) disagreed with those claims.
