Noone comes close to their success selling software to consumers. That's because of a legit strategy to unify hardware and software, not anti-competitive behavior.
Software piracy was rampant in the 90s and early 2000s. It's why everything now is subscription or online-only. Apple was hugely successful securing their devices and store to convince people to buy software.
Disrupting Apple for their success here would hurt competition, not help it. Apple provides developers a secure platform that has customers, and it provides consumers with software and hardware they can trust.
Without Apple carrying the torch we would have even more data breaches, less trust, less investment and less innovation.
