In this case it is largely an issue for governments. Because what Apple is doing is not immoral or unethical but completely standard business practice. Every company who runs a marketplace sets its terms and distorts competition to benefit them. In this case the author et al are arguing that Apple should be regulated differently and forced to operate a "level playing field" marketplace. |

Prohibiting anti-censorship apps and content-based censorship of apps at the behest of undemocratic governments is not immoral or unethical?
> Every company who runs a marketplace sets its terms and distorts competition to benefit them.
Not every company monopolizes the distribution of a third party product to an identifiable discrete set of customers.

That would be a valid way to remove the moral issue by taking the ability to impose censorship out of the corporation's hands.
