I never forget the IE war, when everybody complain about the preinstalled browser. And that time they called "monopolistic practices". At apple, they even don't know what these words mean... /s

That's because at that time Microsoft had a monopoly.

That's because Apple never had a monopoly. Their market share was always on the low 10% (desktop), or the mid-40s (mobile).

So preinstalled software is ok, till your market share is below 50 percent?

Apparently if you market share increases you are no longer allowed to make "just works" products.
