To use your analogy, there is only one road and it is a toll road. Maybe they are ok with a side road, but there is none.
The only thing tired is extractive monopolies. Funnily enough, Apple could make a few small tweaks and not be in this category. They've chosen instead to double down on exerting their market power.

I want a tightly regulated relatively well run platform, not an open one. My phone is mission critical. There isn’t an open platform that can handle that responsibility, like say, Linux in the Cloud.

Or do you not have self control? Like an alcoholic who is compelled to drive to the store and buy some alcohol?
