> sort-of monopoly

Yeah maybe it's a 'sort-of' monopoly in some analogy kind of way, but it's not actually 'monopolist' is it? That's just not true.

What they really mean is that the only monopoly Apple have is the monopoly on the exact kind of customers that this team would like to sell to. Well, too bad for them. 'Monopolist' implies some kind of legal or ethical issue, and there isn't one in my opinion, so let's not muddy the waters or imply anything by using the word.
