  > Apple's customers have willingly chosen this, it wasn't forced upon them. There's a tentative (probably weak) argument to be made that the people who have bought Apple's hardware chose this. This is was simply inflicted on the developers, however. Regardless of the degree to which developers voluntarily develop for iOS, the rules by which they play are 100% dictated -- and they have no say in them at all (no free market) if they want access to Apple's 1 billion customers.

  The big difference is that customers can go to Macy's and one of their competitor the same day, they have the choice of marketplace. I don't ask for more, if people were able to have competing marketplaces on the iphone, then I don't think anyone would have a problem with Apple rules or pricing.
