    Serious dumb question, how is it considered a monopoly? What forms the monopoly?

    The company? If so, what is the proposal? Apple HW team is separate company from SW team? Apple phones and Apple computers are separated?

    The app store? There’s only one Xbox store on the Xbox, one Nintendo shop on the switch or Wii. It wouldn’t make sense to require supporting competition on your hardware. Did N64 games work on the Sega Genesis?

    What is constitutes the monopoly and what’s the proposed fix?

      It doesn’t, the poster just doesn’t like Apple (neither do I) and those are apparently magic words for “stop this company I don’t like.”
