I believe they would be then forced to open up, not just fines.
Free pass management is really a basic human right (or democracies can make them to be). I personally do not hate Apple, Google, Microsoft but they own 99% of OS I guess so if passkeys take off, they have to remain open.
I mean at least Europe and California (and the rest of the World that is not US) and even US citizens would back competition in pass management sector. What we really needed is a good Linux phone. Now I use Google stuff but I would change to full Linux+Proton I guess. They just announced their open source pass manager!
I am not saaying we should not be vigilant but I guess we are stronger than you might think (I mean we vs. a heterogenous not-really-oligopoly-us-os-providers).
