Honestly, I can see validity in both your comment and the parent comment that you're arguing against. But I'll press you a little, if only to understand your point better: > Microsoft's share of the desktop market at the time was very close to unity. > Apple's share of the smartphone market is around... 55% within the US. At what percentage of the market should Apple be required to loosen their grip over their platform / open up their marketplace? Is there a specific number they could reach where you'd feel comfortable placing more restrictions on these practices?

Good question. I don't have a view. Though the boiling frog analogy is probably apt so there should be a threshold or some agreed metric of "competitiveness". One of the key aspects though is the disparity between US market share vs global market share. Given that globally, the remaining 85% of market share are virtually all Android, is penalising Apple increasing or reducing competitiveness? I don't know there's a clear or objectively fair answer.
