Apple’s iMessage is not a “core platform” in EU, so it can stay walled off (arstechnica.com)

“we’re OK with what you’re doing with messaging right now, but only just barely”. If Apple does something the EU doesn’t like, new legislation can be written.

Because of the "only just barely" part, new legislation might not even be necessary.
If Apple only narrowly avoided falling under the core platform definition, just a change in market share might be enough for that to change under the existing rules.
