Nope. The members of the parliament and council want things. And unlike what the previous commenter said, the vast majority of them did want to regulate this, have wanted to regulate this, and desire regulation independent of Apple’s stubborn refusal to join the 2020s (and late 2010s truthfully).
This was my point. The EU isn’t an amorphous blob, and the individuals involved with this decision do and have wanted this.
That is kind of bordering on metaphysics. The will of the EU is what they agree upon. What they agree upon is decided by vote of its members.
Saying the EU doesn’t want something because technically it’s made of people is not saying much at all, imo. I could just as well claim that there is no free will at all, and we’d be stuck arguing it for 2000 years.
