Again with the hysterical straw man. Right now I'm experiencing the outcome of heavy handed corporate control. There are a whole range of outcomes between that and full state control of the markets.

Do you believe that competitive markets are good? The App Store isn't one, I'm advocating for more competition, more trade and prosperity.

Except, you’re not? Nobody has a gun to your head forcing you to use an iPhone. There are other options instead of crying on the internet about how bad Apple is.

App store bud, try and focus. No one is claiming Apple has a problem on the hardware side. If I buy an iPhone, can I get any apps I want? No, I have to use the Apple app store. Vertical integration is anticompetitive and de jure illegal. I’m sorry you don’t understand the concepts of antitrust law, try reading the Tim Wu book.
