Being a closed ecosystem does not entitle you to imposing whatever harms you'd like on the market. If that were true, there would be no effective regulation of business - Microsoft would have just shrugged off the DOJ's suit against them. Netscape who?
You can feel however you want about it, your opinion as a customer is one of the last things considered when proving anticompetitive harm. No company ever, not the least of which being Apple, has ever escaped anticompetitive scrutiny for being "very clear from the start". If anything, it just goes to show how incapable and reluctant the US is when forced to regulate it's own domestic business.
