Sure, all actions have externalities. My taking an airplane trip adds carbon that effects everyone's atmosphere. My supporting a company I like (Apple) makes it more difficult for competitors (including more open ones) to succeed. But unless you are arguing for a totally planned economy where the default is that the government makes all market decisions, our mindsets are the same. i.e. That we should weigh the costs and benefits of government intervention vs leaving the market alone. If externalities or market failures are very bad (the climate, human rights, etc...), of course I support government intervention. However, government intervention has many costs and far from a perfect track record, so it's not a solution I want to throw at every problem. I don't think we have a difference in mindset, we just weigh things differently. I don't think the things you've mentioned (app-locking, hardware incompatibility, etc...) are anywhere near bad enough to justify anti-trust action.
