I think we pretty much agree lol. So it just hit me. You said that if people didn't want the state, things would change. That is true but far less likely than a computer company. My issue is how we are directed to focus on private companies as the problem vs. the state. Apple could screw up and lose market share tomorrow but the state has guns and men ready to use them. This is the monopoly least likely to be broken.
To be honest, I only got interested in this topic because I don't like Apple. I think everyone should follow their own conscience and decide accordingly. It doesn't make any difference to me whether they have a monopoly or not. Hahaha.

If you use Google and android then the business practices of Apple don’t matter

It doesn't matter to me personally, as it doesn't have a direct impact on my life. However, we can't afford to ignore it, as these issues could come back to bite us in the future.

Why is iOS the villain and Android gets a pass?
reply
Everyone has their own opinion, and mine is that we are all villains and victims at the same time. But regarding your question, I will answer with another question. Are the Google Store policies the same as Apple's policies? I honestly don't know the answer...
reply
Policies are different but more importantly one can install any app on an android phone. You can install any app store you want. But this is all besides the point. Its like complaining that the car I bought isn't as good as some other car. I don't think most people care all that much. That's the issue. SO really, there is no issue.
