Modern game consoles can do a lot... and have their own app stores. Microsoft would love for me to use my Xbox to stream Netflix.

I don’t think they are as far apart as you think. They are both walled gardens that are heavily controlled by their developers.

Not to mention — this all started with a game developer that wasn’t happy with the distribution of their game. Nevermind that they abide by the same rules and fees for Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo.

This isn’t about Apple. It’s about all of them.

No, that is a false analogy. Device capacity does not determine device usage. It's about market power and not about device capacity.
