Would it be a bad thing for society if the antitrust laws were interpreted in this way? Why should these hardware vendors be allowed to exercise control over the software their customers run? Personally I think that open platforms are socially important, and I'm concerned that voting with my wallet isn't enough to protect and nurture them. Most people don't have the time, knowledge or interest to think about open vs closed platforms when they make purchasing decisions, and I think law is an appropriate solution to this market failure.
