> Literally nothing prevents any of the current players in the "non-free market" to develop their own phone. Heck, Microsoft even tried to do it.

Literally, the already existing 2 platforms prevent a new one from emerging —- thus it is incorrect to say that the free market will solve the issue.

Anyone can launch a new phone with its own hardware and OS and a marketplace. It just takes a lot of money that most people don’t have. I think what you are really complaining about is not enough people have the money to launch a new phone

Anyone can launch a new phone, but even one of the richest company failed, even when they paid for app developers to create apps?

Are you arguing with yourself now?

This is your text (emphasis mine): "And frankly, there will not be more mobile platforms because even the current two is already much for companies to develop for. Free market doesn’t work that way."
