Not necessarily, the fine just needs to be a sufficient size.
Fines are not assessed that way.
…not assessed what way?

Disclaimer: I know you’re probably only trolling, but I’ll answer anyway:

…not assessed in a way to be of sufficient size to not just be considered a cost of doing business. In other words, pricey enough to take away the incentive to not only take away the profit but to also deal a significant blow to the wealth of the richest person on earth.

No one is “trolling”, you jackass. Just assess them in a different way, is the very obvious point that I was getting at.

Believe it or not, everyone who you disagree with or misunderstand is not “trolling”.

There is no reason they couldn’t assess fines a different way…

Certainly the fines were sufficiently sized in the 90s era when they dropped the hammer on Microsoft.
