What I can gather is that if Apple, from day one, had an 85% split, grew to 98% marketshare, then that would be ok. If apple started with 30%, then grew to 98%

What I can gather is that if Apple, from day one, had an 85% split, grew to 98% marketshare, then that would be ok. If apple started with 30%, then grew to 98% marketshare, then jacked up the price to 85% then they would have a problem.
I think the missing piece that most people miss is that it is not illegal to have a monopoly. It's illegal to use your monopoly to bully others. Apple did no such thing.
