This is not really the case for mass market consumer goods (like the cereal example in your post). Safeway and Kroger are a duopoly not far off of Apple’s app store monopoly and if you don’t like their terms, there aren’t exactly alternative viable channels for your cereal.
- smoldesu 4y agoI get what you're saying, but I think the fact that convenience stores are anything but a monopoly just further illustrates how disparate Apple's authority is here. The power Apple wields is like if there was one cereal store, and if you didn't like the selection they had then you "just find another breakfast food". It doesn't, and shouldn't have to be a binary choice.
