Through the late 90s and yearly 2000s I needed to purchase an expensive and slow emulator plus a Windows license just to do banking, taxes or accurately open some Office files. That's a monopoly.
If you buy an Android phone, you can use Uber, Instagram, Spotify, banking, maps, accurately render web pages, taxes, etc. There's nothing essential to modern mobile that's iOS only.
MS had ≈ 95% global market share back then, Apple has ≈ 30% of mobile market share now.
You may not like Apple's attitudes, but claiming they have a monopoly on mobile is comical.
