    Nowhere in the article does MS say that. It’s presented as an argument, while MS said “no comment”.

    Nowhere does MS claim that.

    “Kolbicz believes this change may be to comply with Europe’s Digital Markets Act (DMA)” (emphasis mine).

      I must have misread the comment from Kolbicz as a comment from a MS rep or something.
