The largest problems I see are that Apple's wildly successful, walled-garden iPhone achieved market power that led to regulatory interest, and that Apple's arrogance and contempt for regulators subsequently incurred their intense ire.
Eddy Cue's self-inflicted problem is leveraging the iOS platform to promote Apple services while creating barriers for competitors. Good for his own position in Apple and for Apple's bottom line, but irritating to users (my pet peeve is pushing unwanted advertisements in Settings and elsewhere in iOS) and something that incurs regulatory/anti-trust scrutiny.
