"He who creates the operating system creates the terms for that system"
Not if it runs afoul of the law, and I can point out several DOZEN ways Apple's developer T&C violates the law.
Apple needs to get slapped down for anticompetitive practices, first and foremost. After that, they need to be removed from the economy the rest of the way for their constant decades of lying about Apple 'security.' (Remember the "Macs don't get viruses" advertising scheme, despite several viruses for Mac existing and being in the wild at that time?)
Tim Cook himself needs to sit in a prison cell for a while.

They do mean that you can be a little more competitive against the house within the two existing ecosystems, but if anything they probably raise the barrier for making something truly from scratch.
