Because a bunch of people believe as a matter of ideology that Microsoft has the fundamental liberty to be your system administrator and that, in a free society, regulators can't so much as think about doing something about it. See the top of the thread.

Apple is not a monopoly.

I believe Apple folks recently said it's actually good to have Android around, so it prevents them to be under anti-monopoly laws.
