Forcing people to buy some of your products in order to use others of your products is called "tying" and it's illegal monopolization.

Apple is not obligated to invest into building Apple Music app on Android or Windows. Just because Apple tied Apple Music into their own ecosystem, doesn't mean you are owed anything.
