You're implying that it's wrong even though the economics of it are right and the sane legal systems are going look at the economics of it.

I am implying that anyone that is clueless about law has no place calling Apple whatever they feel like, just because it doesn't fit their world view.

You still haven't given any argument for how they don't have a monopoly on iOS app distribution, or why iOS app distribution and Android app distribution should be considered the same market when they don't run on the same devices, the set of customers is effectively 100% non-overlapping, and they can't in any meaningful way be substituted for one another when a developer would still need both to reach the entire "market" if the market was defined to include customers on both platforms.

You don't get to define what is a monopoly to fit your world view.
The market is mobile phone devices and each device owner is free to set their own rules on their devices.
Apple is just a big supermarket chain, and like any supermarket chain gets to choose what comes on the shelves, don't like it? Go to another digital supermarket and get a law book for your jurisdiction.
