I don't think likening Apple's authority over its own platforms to the government's stranglehold on citizens helps your case.

Am I doing this right?

Likening it to a government given every company has a domain over its own products and services, makes a lot more sense than likening it to a mafia which doesn't come to contribute, but only to take.

Apple allows you to ship infinite amount of apps 100% for free, if you don't in return ask your users for money.

What kind of a mafia works like that? Heck even taxes have fixed components, whether you make a dollar or not.
