There is no mono- or oligopoly here (like there is in Music Streaming, Appstores)

I’d like to know how the Appstores are “Monopolies” Each OS has their appstore for approved and verified apps. Apple does restrict you to that store for the best possible experience on the device. Android and FireOS allow for 3rd party apps with the risk of your privacy and data. 

Music Streaming is your worst example, Google Music, Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, Prime Music, SoundCloud ... should I keep going?  Best part is all of these are available on all platforms. Apple has even made and Apple Music App for android. Don’t believe me go check for yourself. 

included unauthorized charges on his city credit cards for two iPhones, two Apple Watches, power tools and "a 50-gram gold bar." According to the Austin American-Statesman, Carlos Hernandez Jr., has been charged with theft. Apple products are not an approved expense on city credit cards, the report said.

So does that mean that a 50-gran gold bar is an approved expense 🤔

Apple Music 99% of the subscribers are using the service specifically on an Apple device or through itunes. Spotify, available on all devices and computers.

To be off my a few million is nothing when you compare the amount of devices a service is available on.
