Agreed - a ridiculous omission. Imagine if Microsoft in the 90's tried to exert an appstore level of control over all software that could be installed on Windows? And took a 30% cut of revenue!
- jnordwick 8y agoThey even bring up MS trust busting efforts as a reason to go after Google. The article falls all over itself in multiple places (also Amazon) to reach its ends.

- favorited 8y agoMicrosoft had a monopoly on the PC market in the 90s. Apple doesn't have a monopoly on the smartphone market today.
- rohit2412 8y agoHow about premium smartphone market? Apple is worth a trillion for a reason, it is a monopoly.
- gregknicholson 8y agoApple isn't a monopoly. You can very easily avoid using their products and services if you want to. It's much more effort to avoid Google, Apple and Microsoft all at once.
