Just because someone talks about "free market" and "competition" doesn't even mean they're a libraterian.
The problem in question is actually something that competition (capitalism) would very effectively solve. The reason it's not being solved is a failure of the government to break up clear anti-competitive behavior which I think GP was getting at.
Google has exploited their dominance in the OS market to in order to completely control the phone app market. Nobody except for invidual governments should have control over any market because it gives companies the power to favor their product over others.
Google controls the app market: they will eventually favor their apps
X controls the tellcom market: they favor their media at the expense of others
Just because a company isn't being anti-competitive YET doesn't mean they won't in the future.
