On the enforcement point, I suspect it won't be enforced against Linux in the abstract, but against companies with a legal and commercial presence in California

Probably because the OS is the only layer that's both upstream of the app store and (in some ecosystems) in a position to provide a standardized, system-level signal

History shows it's pretty rare for tech founders to be personally punished in the dramatic way people imagine
72.

Regardless of the verdict, I suspect the long-term impact will be more about design norms than liability

And there are a few places globally that have that vibe

London ends up being this amazing on-ramp into global tech, but not quite the place where the biggest companies finish their journey
76.

Europe has plenty of cities that are great if your goal is "build something useful, make money, don't sell your soul," and those don’t show up in these charts
77.

And for a city that wants to be a global startup hub, that kind of frictionless mobility matters way more than people realize
