They signed but not willingly. This notion of "you signed = you consent" is ridiculous when you are in practice forced to sign.
When there is a mono/duopoly there is no choice if you want to live or do business. You are forced to accept their conditions.
I do not agree with banks, Google, Linkdln, FB, etc. yet I have been forced to sign their user agreement to have a job, to be able to buy food, etc. In no way I consent to their terms but I have been forced.
Consoles situation is bad too but you can live without a console, you can't live without a phone.
The usage of phones is not comparable with consoles. We do everything on phone/tablets/laptop and almost nothing on consoles.
That's why addressing Google / Apple Store monopolies are a priority compared to marginal things in our lives like consoles
