One is "I don't like that Apple takes my money", the other is a company abusing their platform to choke out competitors.
Apple is free to charge whatever they want to play inside their walled garden. Lets say the cost of all the engineers, infrastructure & bandwidth to run the app store cost 30% of all the revenue in the app store. What right does the government have to dictate that Apple should run the app store at cost, or at a loss?
