Because of their behavior. A recent example is their actions around (not) allowing cloud gaming on their platform. xCloud and Stadia have been trying to get iOS apps setup and Apple keeps stopping the apps. Apple does not have their own cloud gaming platform. They have been hypocritical about what apps and behavior they do or don't allow on their iOS platform. Cloud gaming is just one recent example, is this behavior not worth of antitrust? |

Apple did indeed do that before they had guidelines that could accommodate this new streaming app distribution model. But now they do.[1]
These companies can choose other platforms if the iOS platform experience doesn't meet their needs, OR choose to support an iOS-compatible web distribution experience.[2]
