If that’s the litmus test - that the owner is a gatekeeper that keeps a share of the profit - you have to include all of the console makers and Kindle.

I would say consoles are definetly a platform, people even call them "gaming platforms". The Kindle as well, but that seems less clear to me.

I agree. But the litmus test where one gatekeeper takes a fee making it not a platform is nonsensical. That’s what the parent poster said.
