Honestly that's just wishful thinking. Generally these monopolies, regardless of 'artificial propping up' tend to be fairly natural monopolies and these sorts of changes just make it harder on people to get the experience they had before and prefer.

Not true, look at what happened to Internet Explorer after MS was forced to allow people to uninstall it.

It's not clear to me what point you're making. What happened to IE specifically when MS was forced to allow people to uninstall it?
