I do occasionally suspect corruption, but neither Google nor Apple have any incentive to pay off officials to get this passed. They can't beat each other, and the rest of the mobile OS'es is no threat to their revenue.

Google and Apple's odds of being caught are too high to expect they would risk it. They have more to lose if caught than they have to gain.

Obviously some companies do despite the risks, I wouldn't expect this of any individual company, but as a whole some company will once in a while anyway. So stay vigilant.

I do assume corruption, All this random "compliance laws" are not made to help the people but to preserve corporate interest.

One set of people might not give a fuck.

Other interested parties can still be trying to steer the ship.

Corruption to push it through, not giving a fuck to keep it that way.
