I don't know of such rules. Can you point me to them?
To the contrary, there's Epic Games v. Apple case in which definition of the market is pretty narrow (digital mobile gaming transactions) compared to what you suggest (App Store in general) [0].
> That is market control and abuse.
In the same case, judge decided that Apple is not a monopoly, saying “Success is not illegal.” [1]
> Apple has an aggressive chokehold on it that artificially inflates prices and prevents competition.
Almost all apps are free. What inflated prices are you talking about?
