The settlement has shifted to apply globally while watering down the terms. This is worse for users without providing much in exchange. Why would accept global scope? Because it is clear that and laws like force them to open up anyway, so Google doesn't lose by agreeing to global applicability. In exchange, Google gains weakened terms in the US, which is not pursuing something like the DMA

Also, in the UK the competition regulator is pushing Apple and Google to open up bbc.com/news/articles/c626rng1

So if the Epic vs. Google settlement is global, its basically moot in the UK since the CMA is already on Google to open up.
