The argument can also be flipped by saying that companies won’t make a better game on launch because customers are happy paying for a subpar experience even after knowing the game is not optimised. It doesn’t matter to them when a few customers leave as long as they are making a profit and the stock prices remain up. And pre-booking sales already help them with that.

I think Bradley means that Apple should also be forced to open up their OS to other manufacturers?

Agree with “just cost of doing business” argument for Google. But market cap and fine amount ratio are totally unrelated. A company’s stock price can be highly inflated in trillions in market cap and yet can have negligible incoming cash like maybe a few million dollars. So a fine of billion would definitely hurt them a lot.
