I'm just curious, do you and the people who agree with you think that Apple should also be split up? I personally am more Microsoft friendly, simply for the reason that they always had and have an open platform to everyone. I'm honestly interested in people's experiences and views on this topic.

An open platform to everyone... Apparently you missed a few decades of their development of the "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" tactics. As well as their tendency to throw exorbitant licensing conditions on nearly everything they sold. As well as their repeated backdoor deals and maneuvers to cause vendor lock in across the entire PC market.

They did not always have an open platform. Windows Phone was was a Apple style walled garden and Windows 8 did not allow applications outside the windows store to use the "modern" user interface. The only reason Microsoft is trending back to "open" is they failed when they imitated Apple.
