I disagree with the prediction the author made about Microsoft aligning with Apple/meta and not taking the same accepting stance as Google/Amazon are.

They don't have as good point as Meta does (Tbf no other company has), and unlike Apple/Ticktock they are used to work with EU legislation and its limits. I would be surprised if they try to litigate (that would show inexperience imho).

Did you notice that Google/Amazon/Microsoft are big Cloud providers?

They have a lot to lose to frontally challenge DMA (like ... some market shares from some administrations or big state companies)

On the other side, Apple/meta/Tiktok are only consumer-driven

In particular if you consider that they recently started to implement features for EAA countries such as respecting the users browser choice and making default apps uninastallable.

That seems to hint at compliance rather than fight as well.
