you've clearly missed the point this is similar to Apple creating an app that does the same thing as your app, and then strategically promoting that app in the App store rankings while relegating your app to be very hard to discover and fall into oblivion or Microsoft making it hard to use Netscape on Windows by pushing IE on you it's called using your position as a platform to push your own products; a typical monopoly play > This is more like a supermarket featuring their store-brand corn flakes next to Kellogg's Corn Flakes. No, it's not like that at all. firstly, a store doesn't promote itself as a neutral discovery platform. secondly, their store brand sitting next to some other brand on shelf is equal discovery opportunity for the customer. Adding their own tracks to playlists and pushing them to the top of the rankings is not equal discovery. It's like having your non-store brand flakes in a back room where if you happen to ask the store employee they'll go back and find them for you and otherwise you don't even know they exist
