Apple has far more insidious control over the iEcosystem then Microsoft did during its brush with the 1999 anti-trust courts. This is bad for developers, and may be bad for users.

Facebook owns ~95% of the 'social media' market in the US. (And is proving surprisingly capable at buying its way out of irrelevancy.) This may be bad for advertisers, for users, or for competitors.

Except Apple isn’t a monopoly on mobile devices.

How can you be said to have a monopoly on your own platform when that platform itself is a small % of the market?

The argument is ridiculous on its merits unless you are willing to ignore years of established case law (which is the basis of our Jurisprudence)
