Bingo. All this talk about market shares is not about monopsony.

Arguably Android is also monopsony.

Google does not restrict you from installing arbitrary apps or building your own App Store to compete with Google Play though.

I meant to put (Android) in for West coast, but yes, I arguably agree it's a very similar situation, though Google/Android is less restrictive / closed off... They are more like the old "Internet explorer" were Microsoft had to defend bundling their own app over competitors'
