There is an alternative called Android where you have a choice of different manufacturers that all deliver somewhat different systems. And you can install your own OS on most devices. Android has more users than iOS so it's not that Apple would exploit their monopoly.

People can vote with their feet but they like what they get with an iPhone. The number of people that want to compile their own OS is very limited.
