So what you want is a convenient monopoly, when there is no such thing (unless it's under heavy government regulation). As a consumer, I like Epic's free games. GoG's policy of DRM-free. Which is why competition is good.

As a consumer, what I want is for Apple to have the right to curate their platform so it doesn’t become a huge mess like desktops have.
