Ah, so that's why FireFox and Chrome were banned from Windows. Oh wait they weren't.
Ah, so it must be why the Amazon Appstore for Android can't be installed on Android any more. Oh wait, it can, along with dozens of other app stores.
But it does explain why the Kindle app is crippled on Android so that Google Books can take prime position. Oh wait, it's not.
You have a point, but you try to use that point to gloss over the real issue here. On other platforms your product just has to be good enough to succeed (eg: Kindle app). On Apple's platform(s) it is not about being good, in fact the better your product is the more threatened it is by Apple's anticompetitive practices.
