  That's not collusion. Collusion is a pattern of behaving between multiple competitors which has an end effect of coordinating on price. The policy focus on regulating collusion should be on patterns of behavior which reduces competitiveness in markets. IMO there's a stronger policy argument for saying that Apple shouldn't be copy-pasting prices from other places like Playstation. That's much closer to collusion.

    Google paid potential competitors cash to not compete.

      And this entire post is basically a question of "But what about Apple?" When Google licenses out Android they've essentially created an Android marketplace. Apple avoided this problem by not being open.
