With a fine that small, it’s just the price of doing business.
(Weird calling what Apple does “business,” since these anticompetitive practices are metaphorically closer to pollution than legitimate commerce.)
Weren't Microsoft got fined similar amount (or was it higher?) for Internet Explorer browser monopoly back then?
Yes. And they were allowed to pay that fine in the form of free copies of Windows to schools. Our justice system at work, people! 😔
