I am getting the feeling that actual money and engineering resources are beginning to flow into open protocols, interoperability, portable data and the like. Not too much yet, but a tad more than it has been historically.
And I would attribute this to the EU and its Digital Markets Act.
Is it just a token or are some big platforms actually trying to do this? I don't think we know yet. But it's the right direction IMHO.
@J12t I think the EU is definitely one of the largest suppliers of impetus for the push, but I also think a big part of it lies with Right to Repair and adjacent movements.
