That is not the definition on a monopoly.

And if the question is of "its only fair that govt gets a say", then its a question of what Govt says fairly.

If your goal is user freedom, then Apple is the only eco system that is actually pro user, compared to the alternative (Android).

In which case, Govt should be tearing into Android/Google and all advertising driven/invasive platforms.

Govt would have to advocate that Android be out of Google's purview, or all mobile OS dev be separated.

The issue isn't Apple. Its Economics.

We can call it “exerting their power in unrelated markets” as well.
