"I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding of the Sherman Antitrust Act (I wrote a paper on this in engineering law undergrad about the Intel/AMD case) is that whenever a company uses its dominant position in one market to attempt to restrict competition in an adjacent market, that's called "tying" and it's illegal." But it doesn't have a dominant position. It definitely doesn't have one in mobile OS marketshare. It doesn't in app store usage. "And this seems like a pretty textbook case of it: Apple has a strong, powerful position in mobile devices, and they're making it harder for Spotify to compete with them for music streaming services." But they don't. Android has far, far higher marketshare.
