Fair point, well made.
1) No
2) No
3) Maybe.. probably no. Apple doesn't have a monopoly, companies can
take their services elsewhere (and a number of them have said they will)
We're still in the realms of critical app, and if enough go to other
platforms that people want, they will transition. Government only
really ought to intervene if it looks like other shady stuff are
occurring around it, or that locks in vendors to Apple devices.
