> Just think about if Porsche would make a press release and calling the US tariffs "un-American".

I can't find the problematic statement. Off course the tariffs are a threat to the financial success of German car manufacturers, and they need to keep their investors updated.

The DMA is also threatening Apple's high profit margins. That's the whole point of the DMA.

Surely the point is competition, growth and a higher quality of life?

Or is it actually a crusade against margin?

It is multiple things at once. It's a typical antitrust law, to increase competition. Enough competition usually leads to lower prices and lower margins.

One thing it isn't for sure: "a crusade".
