There's clearly a difference between a company having exclusive control over how people access a particular game on a particular platform (eg Fortnite on Windows) and a company having control over how people access all software on a platform (eg everything on iOS and Apple).

I don’t think there’s that much of a difference, unless you want to legally classify a platform differently. Today no such legal classification exists.
How is there no difference between just installing a launcher vs throwing out your entire phone and apps?
