It is when you’re essentially in a market dominating position, which Apple is.

Imagine if Automotive OEMs (a great example for another industry with questionable tactics) would get a 30% licensing fee for for each independent after market accessory somebody sells for one of their cars.

Describe "market domination". They are the leading brand in the US, not anywhere near domination.

Again, with Automotive, as long as you have other options, it is fine.
