The notion that Apple should not be “allowed” to keep some software out of their App Store is nonsense. It saddens me that a person who claims to care about freedom also wants the government to forbid people from making editorial decisions on their private platforms.

You might have a point if Apple did not control the only App store for iOS devices.
"only App store for iOS devices." which was created by Apple. Just like Playstation, Nintendo and Xbox.
Consoles are problematic for the same reason.
Yes and they have a near total monopoly with their [checks notes] 20% global handset marketshare.

You can't just go to Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, Nokia, or anybody else and get one!!

Don't deny that lock-in effects are a thing. Not that it Apple's practices less grossly immoral.
