Just as there are phones other than Apple's, there were computers other than Wintel boxes
Well the specific numbers matter, don't they? Microsoft had a massive overwhelming monopoly whereas iOS has healthy competition in Android.
I see nothing wrong with society demanding more accountability from those with more economic importance.
I don't disagree, but why should we specifically target Apple's app store rather than say, for example, passing a law that prohibits selling locked down hardware that prevents the user from installing whatever software they choose?

MS had a monopoly on x86 operating systems, Apple does not have a monopoly on ARM operating systems.
How is this anything but a category error? Just as there are phones other than Apple's, there were computers other than Wintel boxes.
