Right but is that actually illegal given the fact that you can sideload apps it’s not like they’re locking people out of their devices.
I don’t like it but I’m not sure it necessarily meets the criteria for illegality.
This makes this decision seem stupid. I don’t quite understand how US law works but I thought it was precedent based which meant that once one case had been decided that essentially decided all similar cases unless they were demonstrably different. I don’t understand why that isn’t the case here.

Having a “monopoly” isn’t illegal.
Using your “monopoly” position to pick winners and losers is.

Small addendum, I believe having an unfair monopoly is actually illegal in the US. Google search is currently on the hook for this.
