We haven't really seen the "end game" deployed by the EU yet (4% of global annual turnover fines).

I suspect when that happens the companies will launch a massive PR campaign and fight it in court but eventually lose. If they pull out of the EU or pay I have no idea.

Edit: seems like 4% of alphabets 2018 global revenue [1] is "only" 5.44 billion dollars. Wonder if it can be applied multiple times.
