Browsing forwards, I looked upon mentioned Sherman and Clayton acts. Clayton act seems to be specifically about mergers.

It looks to me that Sherman act might not be applied to app stores because it excludes 'historic accident and growth' - but could it be up to discussion, because Apple and Google have changed rules after getting dominant position? Specifically preventing external payment mechanisms.
