Not to mention Google already lost a previous similar (identical?) case back in 2018 or something, but didn't do enough changes so they had to be fined yet another time.
Not sure why Google are unable to get lawyers good enough to explain laws and regulations to them, or if executive team just ignores the lawyers they have.
On the contrary. Google have the best lawyers. And they did the math and came up that the profits from several years of now following the laws makes up for any potential fines for breaking it.
You know that scene from Fight Club when on the plane, Edward Norton's character explains to his seat mate that he works for a very large car company where they have mechanical issues that kill people all the time, and his job is to do the math and only issue a recall if the cost of the lawsuits is greater than the cost of the recall. Google, Apple, et-al have the same thought process for following the law.

Some companies have surely done this. But most haven’t, and given how poorly Google is run, I doubt they did.
