That's right, but the basis of comparison is different.

Apple has a monopoly on 1/2 of Smartphones users in the US, Android the other.

This is a totally different scenario that 'choosing component vendors'.

Absolutely, it wasn’t my comparison. That Apple has a monopoly and uses it to charge egregious fees is something I’m absolutely behind Epic in fighting.
