If Apple didn't allow 3rd parties into its app store, then it would be fine. Once you operate a platform for third parties to join, you have an responsibility to ensure that other platforms providing the same service are possible without interference. Otherwise, you're participating in anti-competitive behavior.

Do you feel the same way about the consoles? Smart TVs?

But you are actually legally incorrect. A company has “no duty to deal”.
