It feels like there's a tragedy of the commons situation here -- imagine if Amazon, Spotify, Google, and others unilaterally decided to block Apple. This would surely result in Apple folding

As if Amazon and Google are saints. Even if they colluded to "block" Apple (which would be illegal), millions of people would still continue using Apple.

It's not illegal or collusion to remove their apps and products from Apple phones. I disagree with you - if you couldn't use instagram / fb messenger(s) / tiktok / YouTube, wayyyy less people would buy Apple.

However, it doesn't look like this is happening anytime soon.

Users could still always use the websites, which is what I do for those apps, especially after all the recent news about iOS 14 catching apps like Instagram and others secretly snooping your camera and clipboard etc.
