All the facts they report are correct but I really don't think this option was "available to any of their competitors to use". The reason Apple "got away with" AntennaGate is because they'd built up so much good will with their customers. So they'd banked enough positive behavior to be forgiven for the negative behavior. It's like a relationship between spouses. If one cheats it won't necessarily kill the marriage. The marriage will survive based on how good it was in the first place.
