Why are you defending a trillion dollar company lmao?

Why do you care so much that Apple has been forced to give consumers more choice, you can still just use the app store yourself, nobody is forcing you to use apps from alternative stores.

This is the standard "one true religion" reaction imo.

maybe because forcing people or companies (property of people) is wrong?

The phones are not property of Apple though.

The users should not be forced to run Apple approved applications.

Are you familiar with the history of antitrust intervention and the laundry-list of real-life examples that proves you wrong?

We have been forcing people and companies into compliance of some sort since the dawn of civilization.
