Exactly. And it’s *entirely* Apple‘s prerogative to have one system open and the other less so. In their own words: "The Mac is a car. You can take it off-road if you want and you can drive wherever you want... There’s a certain level of responsibility required. With iOS, you wanted to buy something where children can operate a device and feel safe doing so." https://www.gamesindustry.biz/apple-software-engineering-head-explains-core-differences-between-iphone-and-mac-security

??? You got it upside down and that’s *exactly* the difference: Apple is closing off Siri AI from Musk, Altman and Zuckerberg on macOS *exactly* the same way they do on iOS; since the EC doesn’t see macOS as a gatekeeper, Apple can bring that feature on macOS without risking the drastic fines of Art. 30 (10-20% of *world*wide *turnover*)

No, for any *new* service, such as the new Siri AI, that interacts with its designated ecosystem, they engage in a *formal regulatory dialogue* with the Commission. Under Article 8, the EC can step in to specify exactly how the gatekeeper must design the service to avoid "self-preferencing" or anti-competitive data-bundling.
So the gatekeeper knows its obligations *after* this dialogue. https://www.noerr.com/en/insights/dma-european-commission-designates-further-gatekeeper-and-core-platform-services
Digital Markets Act: European Commission designates further gatekeeper and core platform services

The European Commission has designated the hotel booking and travel portal Booking as a new gatekeeper and Apple as a gatekeeper for its core platform service iPadOS under the Digital Markets Act. The Commission has also decided not to designate X Ads and TikTok Ads. Finally, the Commission has opened a market investigation into whether a designation should be refuted for the social network X despite the designation thresholds being met.

Only half right. The DMA took effect in 3 phases: The DMA officially became law 20 days after its publication in the EU Official Journal (EUR-Lex, Regulation 2022/1925), i.e. on 01.11.2022. On 02.05.2023 the rules became *active*, requiring tech companies to report their user numbers *to determine if they qualified as "gatekeepers"* On 07.03.2024, designated tech giants (like Apple) had to fully comply with the DMA (EC Press Release, IP/24/1341).
