 It should but I doubt it will. Apple will put up a much bigger fight because the Apple Store is more fundamental to Apple's survival than the Play store is to Google.

 Apple is already under pressure to do the same from DMA enforcement in the EU. With both US and EU regulators pushing to de-monopolise digital tech markets, we've got a good chance of seeing it continue to happen over the next 4-10 years.

This is one example of why it's very important that US citizens re-elect their current administration. Regardless of what they think about the spokesmodel they're running for President.

If the US executive is taken over by the GoP in its current form, it will start working with the digital monopolists. To block antitrust enforcement at home, and fight the EU on DMA enforcement. As well as other countries trying to reign in the unbridled power of the monopolists.

This could set us back a decade or two in the fight for a free and uncapturable internet.
