How can iPhone have a monopoly if android exists without redefining the term monopoly? Serious question.

• matthewdgreen 2y ago
  I think it would be very reasonable to redefine the term monopoly (or "anti-competitiveness") so that it encompasses the closed technical platforms that dominate the 21st century.

    It's called duopoly, and it's not much different.

    Sure, but you can't do that legally without an act of congress, and the DOJ only (in theory) prosecutes when laws are broken. Redefining what a monopoly is doesn't really help in a courtroom.
