They cannot operate on the same platform through alternative installation methods or the web (considering how Apple limits PWAs to be dead in the water). They also cannot reach these users through other platforms because of the immense lock in that Apple builds up intentionally.

Regardless of how you feel about the legalities or how much freedom you think a company should have, that is obviously bad for competition and consumers.
