#Google desparately wants to limit the scope of the #DMA as much as possible, and wants the European Commission that #GooglePlayServices is not part of the operating system, even though users cannot uninstall it. Google is even working to change the definition of "uninstall" so that it means the same as what #Android currently calls "disabling". Even Google Play itself will entirely delete the app when users click "uninstall" except of course for the stuff where Google prevents uninstallation.
@f15h this is their claim to the European Commission today in the #DMA compliance workshop that is going on right now https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/events-poolpage/alphabet-dma-compliance-workshop-2024-03-21_en
It is probably also detailed in their "non-confidential" DMA compliance report:
