Seriously? Did I miss the part where iOS obtained 95% mobile OS market share?

That depends on whether or not you believe what Steve said in the keynote about having over 90% of the tablet market.

Did I miss the part where first-mover advantage became anti-competitive behaviour?
I'm not making any claims about who is and isn't an illegal monopoly, that's a legal matter and IANAL.

I was addressing the claim about market share and only that.

Neither was I really. I was making a point about the speed with which people are jumping to claims of anti-competitive behaviour before the competition have really got out of the starting blocks, and in some cases before they've even got their running spikes on. I think it would be a very bad move to regulate a market that's only really existed for 3 years and hasn't yet reached a point where anyone can be said to have an established monopoly. Must remember not to try being pithy on HN in future.
