I still strongly disagree. “No, you can’t use this at all” is more abusive than “ok, we’ll let you use this if you agree to something else”. If you didn’t agree with the terms, you are no worse off than the other choice. Android is the “only choice” exactly because Apple won’t share.
The issue only exists because Google are letting others use their operating system, but are abusing their market position where they own 90% of the market, to force their services which makes other products unable to compete. Samsung for example have their own messaging app, but aren’t allowed to not have Google’s messaging app installed. They have their own calendar app, but Google forced them to have Google calendar.
That is abusing their market position and is textbook anti-competitive behaviour.
Apple made their own product, for themselves and no one else. That’s not abusing anything.
One is abusing their market position, the other isn’t.
Android is basically the only choice for phone OS’s, and they are abusing that fact by forcing their services on every phone.

You’re wrong then.

So if Google said that companies can no longer use Android, you would be satisfied?
