Okay. But what happened to the Windows Phone and its integration with the Windows OS? It simply failed.

There is a valid argument to be made here against Apple and how their firm grip is stopping a market from advancing further. But not by using their technical success in creating a great platform.

It's all about economical fair play. If you create a market, but position yourself as the de-facto winner, it will not be a healthy one. It was all good, especially when default apps provided by Apple were free, but now with Apple Music, Apple TV, and iCloud being paid services, competitors worry about being not able to compete.

Yes. That’s it. That’s anti-competitive. That’s where the consumer benefit was curtailed and competition was limited.

People usually talk about companies who cannot compete with Apple on fair grounds and then claim foul. Which sounds like they’re trying to punish a company for being successful not for playing unfairly.
