EU Reportedly Planning to Charge Apple for Violating Digital Markets Act

But has a low market share

Not as their share of transaction volume on mobile/services - the major gauge of market share for transaction platform businesses.

Make the manufacturers develop their own operating systems.

Destined to fail in the market - unless you're creating a fork of Android or iOS, due to availability of apps.
Same reason as for Windows in the PC desktop market.

I really thought you’d understand at this point, filing a lawsuit is easy. Winning is tough.

The DoJ surely has it metrics for monopoly power.
Whether that'll hold up for their suit in court is a different question.

But it's clear that Apple has monopoly power according to at least some (non-European) "metrics".

Smartphones are just mobile computers. You can access Spotify from PC’s, Linux, and so on too. So Apple doesn’t have 27% market share at all, it is way lower.

And airplanes are just motorised passenger vehicles - like helicopters, cars and E-Bikes.
You can use all of them to get from point A to point B.

Yet nobody would seriously consider Airbus and Boeing having just a tiny market share of the motorised passenger vehicle market.

People shell out money willingly for apple services and products. They still have a 27% market share.

Destined to fail in the market - unless you're creating a fork of Android or iOS, due to availability of apps.

That’s not apples fault, but the EU punished apples for it’s competitors failures.

Same reason as for Windows in the PC desktop market.

Well if it doesn’t hold up in court then we know.

But it's clear that Apple has monopoly power according to at least some (non-European) "metrics".

Sure I’m sure somewhere in the world apple is defined as a monopoly. Look at MR, they are defined as a monopoly on this site.

Compared to cars, the market share of transportation devices are in favor of legs, then cars.
