IMO most people here seem to be missing the point. The point is not directly about consumers or the choice between Android and iPhone. The point is about Apple (and Google's) market power. Imagine a self driving car that became popular. Imagine that car manufacture asking stores to sign up for a account to register their store so the car will know where to drive users. Imagine the experience using the car is amazing and it's widely successful. Imagine car company then demanding 30% of all sales any store the store drives someone, refuse to pay the 30% and the car will stop showing the store as a destination. Their market is so large, if you refuse to pay you immediately lose 40-60% of your customers. This is the power that Apple and Google have. It has nothing to do with choice in phones. It has to do with no app can escape this 30% tax on their business because the 2 gatekeepers control the entire market. There are many similar issues but they all boil down to market power over hundreds of thousands of companies, not phone choice.
