Why haven't antitrust lawsuits made it mandatory that you can chose your app store after first use like it happened with browsers?

- Leherenn 6y agoThere's no monopoly in the phone market like there was with Microsoft.
- jedimastert 6y agoI currently have F-Droid installed on my stock phone and Google did nothing to stop me other than a single "unknown app" warning. Also, that's not how it works with browsers. You have one browser installed. I don't think I've ever seen windows or mac (or any linux distro I've tried) ask which browser should be installed. There's just the default one and the choice to install anything else.
- Mindwipe 6y agoThey likely will eventually, but the browser verdict took a long time. It's also unhelpful that many politicians have realised in retrospect that they quite like having single choke points that can be used to enact legislative control over the public.
