I don't think that analogy works
Railroads and telephone wires are the necessary physical network required for railways and telephones.
Apple is a private company, and if they decided to keep their stock to themselves there still would be plenty of computers and cell phones
Presumably for the same reason that the telephone network, or railroad lines are subject to certain laws, and cannot do whatever they want.
Or any other situation where a company has a large amount of anti competitive market power.
> There are options
If Apple doesn't like democracy, it has other options. They can feel free to leave the EU market and they won't be subject to any of that pesky democracy and popular laws.
> incredibly small percentage
It seems as if there is actually a very large percentage that supports these laws in the EU.
