- Nobody is forcing you to use Apple's music service.

- Not using Apple's music service doesn't prevent you from loading your own music on your phone.

- Apple happily allows other products (like Spotify, Pandora, SiriusXM, etc) to be installed and used on the device.

- Music apps and services still happily play out over your device over your output of choosing.

- ... and the list goes on.

Very, very far from anti-competitive.

Can they implement same capabilities? Same AirPlay support, streaming to HomePod, Siri integration?
