It's not so much against the spirit of those laws, but an attempt by the EU to apply its laws outside the jurisdiction of the sphere of absurdity that is the EU. This is not at all about "where the data resides", as you cla

All android APIs tend to have a large number of methods, but there will be absurd omissions. Example, the WebView has no way to return its HTML contents. So it's difficult to implement your own caching mechanism. Or an even more absurd

Right, it doesn't search sub-categories, so while not completely useless, it's merely next to useless (no efficient way to search the corpus of public domain images on Wikimedia Commons). The main issue with pointing to Wikimedia
