The value of the feature to the alleged monopolist is irrelevant to the FTC/DOJ, solely the impact on competition. If the primary way consumers consume information is shifting to mobile, and the premier mobile platform inhibits mobile advertising except their its own built-in advertising system, then the FTC/DOJ can use that as the start of the investigation.
Given the speed DOJ and FTC move for monopoly investigations I doubt anything will happen before the market is already significantly changed and/or damaged.
