So, when was the last time a company was split by the SEC or such? I can only think of older examples (Boeing, AT&T, etc)
What I think regulators are seeing is that they split, wait a bit then merge all over again, negating that effect
And I agree about the GDPR, though the DMA seems to have had bigger effects (including preventing EU from getting the wet dud known as Apple Intelligence - I guess we can recognize this was a cop-out from Apple for a poor product instead of an actual hurdle)
