> actual monopolistic behavior

If it's only "a significant share" it's by definition not a monopoly.

The legislative term is "dominant market position", but that's too long, so everyone just uses monopoly, because it is far shorter and everyone can understand with a bit of thinking what is meant.

Sure. Given that 15-16% of smartphones sold worldwide are iPhones, "dominant" is about as much of a stretch as "monopoly".

Actually, it could be a monopoly, see also Herfindahl-Hirschman index and other measures of market concentration.
