I find that a fairly twisty perspective. I agree Google are adware. I disagree that tales them out of the discussion of monopoly. I also think the monopoly discussion and the 30% fees discussion are separate. This relates to my interpretation that the 30% covers “shelf space, distribution, And security”. If the fee were 5% but nothing else changed, Apple might still have a monopoly.

If the fee were 5%, then Apple wouldn't be abusing its monopoly position.

  The other poster is correct, the issue of the fee is orthogonal to the issue of app distribution. After all, even if the fee were 5%, Epic could still argue they want to put in their own store where the fee was 4%.
