So first off. If you want to have people take what you have to say seriously don’t start with an insult. No one but you are talking about payment processors. Not Tim Sweeney, no one else in this thread, nor me, just you.
Apple and Google being the owners of majority of smart phone OSs on the market does not constitute a monopoly. On the account of there being 2 of them and not one, and nothing is preventing anyone from developing a competing product. Microsoft did, it did not fail because of anything Google or Apple did, but because Microsoft tried doing what Apple does and refused to license their os to other phone manufacturers causing a small pool of potential customers for apps developed on their platform which ended up with no third party app support. All they had to do was license it to other manufacturers and they could have broken into the market.
Once again a point no one was arguing, no one has made a statement pro banning apps on an App Store. But a store controlling what product they sell is also not a monopoly. Porn distributors can’t sue Walmart or any other major retailer for refusing to sell their product. I do think it’s wrong what Apple and Google did to Parlor out of fear that Trump would go the platform so they killed the app even though it broke no part of their TOS. But again not a monopoly.
