I'm not an expert on this in any way, but I've been following this Google case and have learned a few things. In antitrust lawsuits, a critical part is to define the "relevant market" over which a company is being accused of doing illegal anti-competitive things. This isn't straightforward or easy to define, but I do think it's very easy to make a strong argument that Apple has enough market power over some markets to justify enforcement action against them.
> Apple doesn’t have a monopoly on their platform. They make a platform that’s part of a market. And they have a minority portion of that market.
I don't think "a minority portion" means anything, since illegal activities are still illegal. I.e. collusion doesn't become legal just because you're a small company. And again, I think it'd be pretty easy to identify more than a few markets where Apple very clearly has an overwhelming market share.
