Its a talk show. Far from having a monopoly, Apple is a small player in this space.

Yeah, that's not the problem here. Stewart can get good distribution on his show elsewhere, especially if he doesn't need to make millions.
It's a problem for Apple TV+ if anyone. Apple will use their earnings from their hardware business to ensure they continue to mint money in that business. Apple's streaming service has plans to be a standalone revenue stream, but so far it's only there to burnish Apple's hardware business, and it's not allowed to undercut that.
