This!!!! I cannot believe that Apple is allowed (even by EU) to only allow their own browser on App Store. Having a choice is always good.

If it was Microsoft, the story would have been completely different today.

Microsoft's problem was that they had a monopoly of the market and were distorting it. Apple has nowhere near close to a monopoly on the smartphone market, and there still is plenty of innovation in the 'mobile web' happening.

Microsoft had 90% percent marketshare in the '90s. Apple is not in that position.

Yes, because, for the 10000th time: Microsoft was a monopoly in the desktop market.

Apple has never been a monopoly on the phone market.
