Actually no. It’s a major computing platform. Your argument is flawed. By you saying this is ok for apple then you must also be ok with the possibility that tomorrow Microsoft can do the same to windows and apple can do it to osx and google to android. What’s good for one has to be acceptable for all. Eventually every platform can be locked to one and only one source of apps completely killing competition.

Argument is flawed how? You are not required to use Apple devices or services. I would argue that their products are a premium purchase if anything. They are nowhere near a majority marketshare in any sector they compete in.

That’s up to them. There are still other options.

Majority marketshare ≠ major computing platform.

You will always have the option to use only the App Store.
