Where on Earth are you getting that Apple's market share is "extremely large and stable"?
iPhones account for 17% of the smartphone market.[0] That's less than Samsung.
iOS has 27% market share against Android's 72% [1].
Apple has a monopoly on Apple products. Yes, there is a high barrier to entry to compete with Apple on making Apple products.
But they in no sense have a dominant market position, much less one to be compared with Microsoft at their height when IE had 95% market share of browsers [2]
