> That's not the market. Mobile Software in general is the market. Now who's making up arbitrary markets? > Other than it's not needed, as there is competition in the digital marketplace. Apple allows no other app stores on its platform. There is no competition. > Again, Apple does not have a monopoly. Android still exists. Android is not allowed on Apple's hardware or in Apple's ecosystem. > I love when one side of a discussion is completely wrong and is not contributing to the discussion. So instead of a discussion you just want others to agree with your perspective otherwise, to you, they're "not contributing." So essentially to you there are two types of conversations: An echo chamber (contributing) or disagreement (not contributing). You're right, I'm not contributing to your echo chamber by having the audacity of disagreeing with your baseless opinion presented as fact.

No, you're not contributing because you're trying to define arbitrary markets to prove your point. And when told that's not how it works, you continue to base everything off the arbitrary markets that you've defined.

"Now who's making up arbitrary markets?" Still you. "Apple allows no other app stores on its platform. There is no competition." Sure there is. Android is still out there, and they run apps too. If Apple is too controlling with it's store, developers will go to Android.

This subthread has turned into a tedious spat and become increasingly uncivil. You particularly have violated the HN guidelines more than once, by calling names in the thread, complaining about downvotes, and getting personal. Please don't do those things on this site.
