This is a good illustration of the point. But at the same time, customers have multiple pharmacies to choose from. And I'm pretty sure that it's still more the government regulators' job (FDA, etc) to decide what's safe to sell or not, than it is the for-profit corporations'.

Customers have multiple smartphone choices too, and most people choose non-Apple smartphones. If people want a smartphone where they can easily install any software from any source, there are plenty of very good options.

Plenty? There’s one option. Which is Android.

Most people aren't buying Android because "they can easily install software from any source", they buy it because they've already bought (locked) into it because of experience/apps and because you can get cheaper phones.
