The current situation is called a duopoly. There are 2 walled gardens with approximately 50-50% revenue share in the developed world.
One makes it almost impossible to distribute your own app on these, the other makes it just very hard.
Both should be broken up, it's a bleak distopia that 2 companies headquartered a few miles from eachother decide who can publish software on mobile devices.

Indeed but that wasn’t the point I was making. I was saying those who argue the App Store as a monopoly (ie because it’s the only repository on iOS) miss the point of what a monopoly legally means.
I agree what we have is a duopoly.
