Yes they do it in different ways and users have a choice.

Users have a platform choice but they have no choice in where to get software for their hardware.

Then they make a choice to buy the more open platform if that’s more important to them. I can’t whine because I can’t get software from XBox Live for my PS4

You should whine because you can't get my PS4 software on your PS4. Even if you wanted to get my software, there is no way for you to do that without Sony's approval.

So if Xbox suddenly became an open platform, you'd be ok with me telling you "well if you want my software you just have to buy an Xbox and get all new software for it and learn an all new system, but they're totally the same thing so it's fine".

Yes. Just like I chose to buy a Mac knowing I couldn’t run Windows software.

You're confusing platform availably with control.

On both the Mac and PC, you can install any software available for those platforms.
