I'm attacking the assertion that the business model should be illegal.

The law is currently written that a competitor, who gets twice as much revenue in their app store, and has far stricter controls, is not in trouble.

That's moronic.

A competitor that has less than 15% of the market on smartphones, 0% of the market on search and under 5% of the market on browsers.

The business model is not illegal but it is if abused to leverage market position against the competition.

Apple doesn't have a large market nor do they leverage their market position to force potential competition out of said market.

"So take it or leave it eh?" Yes.

"And what about Google choosing anti-competitive (i.e. Illegal) business model?" I think the law should be re-written so its not illegal, or what Google's competitors are doing should also be considered illegal.

I made both of those points abundantly clear. Yes, I did answer their question.
