    Amazon is more of a Monopoly threat, then Apple or Google.  How many mom and Pop shops have been closed because of Walmart and Amazon and other big box stores. buying products from Apple or Google or 7-Eleven is a consumers choice.
    Amazon is already being sued by the FTC on antitrust grounds. I don't think anyone here complained about it, and if so I've missed it. Google is also being sued on antitrust grounds, and almost no one here voiced an opinion calling it unfair. Did everyone think the regulators would ignore the biggest and most assertive digital market mover of them all when other big techs were already being put under the microscope?

    Really, this shouldn't come as any surprise. Whether the US succeeds on any of the antitrust claims remains to be seen, but the filing that involves far more than the App Store was expected sooner rather than later if anyone was paying attention. 

    I’m aware of the existing antitrust cases against Amazon and Google.  Again, I feel like Google is a choice. You don’t have to use their products. There’s always being another search options because these are ecosystems however, Amazon has uses dominance to actually hurt competitors and I feel like that case should proceed. Amazon has deliberately lower prices On products that they sell to undercut the competition.

    Apple does compete when it comes to AirTags and Apple Music and videos streaming services however, again that’s a choice. in addition products like Tile can use existing API’s to integrate the location services into Apple ecosystem. To me Apple Music probably has the most unfair advantage, however Spotify is the most dominant music streaming service in the United States and the European Union.

    Microsoft is not in the mobile field because of bad management decisions. I actually liked windows mobile, but unfortunately, he’s not here anymore.
