It's also problematic arguing about a tech company on a tech forum where people are either employed at or hold shares in. Even owning an iPhone gives people a vested interest the discussions.

True, but I'm frequently in these threads as an Android user with no Apple shares I'm aware of (probably some baked into some ETFs somewhere, but not that I pay attention to).

My interest in the Apple-is-a-monopoly argument is that it frustrates me that people act like having an iPhone was forced upon them and they should be entitled to having the iPhone the way they want it, when I consciously made the trade-off between customization and great hardware and chose customization.
