Compare them to Steam and GOG, not apple.

- GoG will give you DRM free downloads

- Steam allows you to give out keys for free then use their infrastructure to download/manage the game (humble bundle steam keys)

- None of them force exclusives as far as I know

No they don't. There's plenty of businesses that are alive and well and not getting fucked by anyone.

Can you cite big businesses that are successful that is Android exclusive?

There’s nothing wrong with exclusives. They aren’t any more “anti-consumer” than first party titles (like Valve’s own Half-Life, Portal, etc)
