Yes, if the electricity provider required 30% cut for any TV I hook up except for the one they sell, I would like them to be stopped.

That’s not really the analogous situation. More like Samsung takes a 30% cut on apps on its Tizen platform. Surely you’d just change TVs no? Or not buy it to begin with?

If only Samsung and Sony were making these TVs, and they both had these platforms, I'm screwed anyway, am I not?

How are you screwed, exactly? You can still watch tv, no?

The full value of iPhones is in the ecosystem of apps, not in the OS itself.
