I wonder if super-apps with subscription passes like Uber that combine food delivery and taxi service could be targeted by this rule. Many businesses are forced to expand to multiple verticals to satisfy growth numbers, and they can use dominance is one vertical to oust players in another.


I'm no expert but doesn't seem like it to me. Uber took successful technology from its taxi business and applied that to food delivery. That's just legitimate innovation; they're not exploiting power in one place to gain more in another.

I think the apps are separate too? But "bundling" is more about forcing customers to buy more than they need, not the fact that both services could be operated from the same app.
