If only there was a monopoly. It isn't as if you suddenly can't get these device any longer.
Monopoly power can be exerted at a whole lot less than 100% of the market.
Google also doesn't have the only place you can get search results (eg Bing). But that didn't stop Europe from handing out a $2.8 billion fine.
