EU regulators aren’t politicians, they’re bureaucrats. The anti-trust office in particular is special because it’s practically the oldest EU institution, getting their start in the ECSC as regulators of a trade cartel, brutally cracking down on internal collusion both because presence of such practices weakens the whole and to make sure that national cartels are broken up, the very founding idea of the ECSC was to intertwine coal and steel industries so that internal war would become impossible because no individual nation actually had control over that sector.

It’s about the EU regulators. It’s notable that they don’t seem to have any concerns about Google, despite Google being exponentially worse.
You know EU regulators can do multiple things at once and that investigations take time and tend to be secret until they are ready to act.
Eh they’re politicians. I’m impressed if they can tie their shoes without a bribe.
