EU always escalate slowly. Eventually it enforces though (e.g., USB-C, GDPR).
Given the companies are almost all US based and US historically have been very defensive of their businesses (not only in IT) this seems a pretty reasonable approach for avoiding diplomacy escalations.
IMO DMA will be fully enforced in 3-4 years (and collecting some Billions here and there in the process).
First in line for the few initial billions: Meta and Microsoft. We’ll see what comes next
Let me know when the EU collects it. I have my doubts.
