Microsoft also didn't have a monopoly on computers back then.... But they were still hit by monopoly suit. I don't think you understand how it works. Being the only option is not how monopolies work. I feel that you missed 1:25 where "Apple really does dominate the market even if they don't if it doesn't necessarily have a 70% market share."
Would you rather that Apple reach that 70% share before they get stopped? Or would you rather get them to be put in control before it goes out of control? Like Microsoft?
