Please do not distort the court decision. No official entities (such as FTC or DoJ) were involved in this case, it's just a private firm that failed to prove Apple's illegal monopoly (which is also different from market monopoly and/or antitrust conduct). Gonzalez has already explicitly revoked your statement.
> "While the Court finds that Apple enjoys considerable market share of over 55% and extraordinarily high profit margins, these factors alone do not show antitrust conduct," Gonzalez Rogers said. "The Court does not find that it is impossible; only that Epic Games failed in its burden to demonstrate Apple is an illegal monopolist."

- scarface_74 3y ago“Official entities” also don’t get to judge whether Apple is a legal monopoly - the courts would still decide. And if you haven’t been paying attention - government lawyers haven’t been doing too great lately making cases against BigTech. Yet, HN posters are sure that Apple is a monopoly. Did their high price lawyers miss something that HN posters found?
