Cook said this defensively in regards to a question during the anti trust hearings. The context makes it even worse, because his additional examples were the play station and Xbox platforms, which obviously aren't mobile app competitors. It was a prepared canned response that barely addressed the question, but since each rep only gets 5 minutes to ask questions, Cook (and others) could basically answer however they wanted because there's no time for follow up. The anti trust laws were designed to prevent exactly this type of action the article is talking about, but we've given big business so much political sway I don't have much faith the laws are enforceable at this point.
