> consider the thought experiment of Apple funding a startup to sell an infinite amount of worthless $0 phones that are just advertising backed so that they have 1% of the smartphone market due to number of devices ‘sold’ Yes. lets procecute apple based on the fact that if we have a though experiment where they kill people who don't have phones they would be murderors. Apple isn't a monopoly and it doesn' become one just because a lot of developers want to use antimonopoly policies to gain cheaper access to Apples market. Apple has cultivated the most profitable mobile market, which is exactly why they have the higher profit even though they don't have the higher market share. There is good reason to want entry to the market for cheaper, but consider this, is the 30% you want to save really worth Apples market losing everything it is? If your answer is yes, then just don't go to market on Apple and stick to Android, because there you literally get what you would get from apple without their walled garden, and you can get on it for cheaper just like you wanted. But if you're making up random arguments why you need to get into Apples market, then obviously it's worth the cost to you, since those 30% are coming out of profit you would not have without their market, which means you're going into a win-win situation but doing so while complaining that you don't want Apple to win as much and you want to win more...
