This is incorrect. In the US, Apple has over 60% of the mobile OS marketshare[1], and 60% of the market is therefore forced to use Safari and only Safari.

There, fixed that for you. They chose to buy an iPhone and I think at this point people know what they’re choosing and why. Nobody forced them to do anything. If I buy a PlayStation, I’m not being ‘forced’ to not be able to play Call of Duty. I do feel some of apple’s App Store rextrications are excessive, although they are being pushed in the right direction, but this sort of frothingly apoplectic language gets really irritating.
But you can't argue that features and restrictions that people freely chose when the company had a minority market share are somehow imposed unfairly or are leveraging unfair advantages. They had no such advantage, but users were perfectly happy with the tradeoff anyway, so clearly they're not being coerced or 'forced' into anything. They're just choosing it.
Globally, Android has 87% of the market and iOS has 13%. That is far far more concerning than Apple having a small majority in one specific market.
And to be clear it's not over 60%, even your own source says that's false - you're backing a literal browser monoculture with 87% global hardware marketshare and 90% software marketshare by wrapping yourself in the language of antitrust and competitiveness, and you still can't do it without using falsehoods and exaggerations.
That is not true. Neither in unit shipment or usage. However one wishes to define as market share.
>You're singling out one particular market
And if that market has its own jurisdiction. Then yes, both UK and Japan has over 60% of Smartphone user on Apple's platform.
