> If others want to create a new OS and get manufacturers to install it they can. That is always true for any monopoly. Any company could create their own phone system and compete with AT&T. That was never in doubt. The problem is that it is not happening, there is no competition, and when there is, some FAANG buys it. Capitalism does not work without competition. Economies of scale and the network effect makes it really difficult to compete. Or governments do something, or stagnation and centralised control take over.
