I contacted the EU DMA team a while back. Part of the response:

We have taken note of your concerns and, while we cannot comment on ongoing dialogue with gatekeepers, these considerations will form part of our assessment of the justifications for the verification process provided by Google.

So at least some part of the bureaucracy are aware of it.

That’s the copy pasta I got, too!

The thing I don't understand about any of this, is why can't you comment on ongoing dialogues with the gatekeepers?

I understand the basic tenants of keeping the discussion closed until official statements can be prepared, to prevent the press and the public from going off half cocked. That makes sense for private matters.

This is not private. I can't understand what is the point of negotiating law for people if they can't even see the ongoing process?
