Huh? "Here's item A that breaks the law - if you don't like it, don't buy it". That's the crux of your tirade. Apple's legal non-compliance cannot be justified

  It's not a crux at all it's the facts, Apple isn't breaking the law. Whatever gymnastics you need to do to not think that is on your own. The Supreme court is being pulled in due to a split opinion, but one federal court has already ruled it legal. That's not breaking the law. Also "if you don't like it, don't buy it" is literally how the market works. If you don't agree with the software decisions by Apple, you can happily flock elsewhere.

    Regardless of your cherry-picking judgements that support your narrative, the fact that this in the supreme Court, and the fact that we're debating it on HN point to an uncertainty in legality. The structure of the free market doesn't insulate monopolies or illegal items from being traded under the guise of choice. So don't keep pining on the existence of Android. If you've lived under a rock, Apple banning an app from the app store can often be the death knell for the publisher, especially small ones. Stop pretending Apple isn't anti competitive on the app store
