The App Store is anti-competitive. The hardware is not.
Not sure what that means, exactly. The hardware is not competitive because it is locked to a proprietary OS created by the hardware manufacturer. This is an arbitrary limitation that benefits no one but Apple, and stifles competition with other OS’s.
That’s without even mentioning the limitations on repairs that contribute to e-waste and costs consumers money unnecessarily.
