Arguably the market has already decided the behavior they want by buying iPhones in the first place. Apple didn't suddenly change their behavior. This is how the app store has always behaved. Everyone had that information available to them prior to making the purchase. How can you be sure that Apple customers don't actually want a walled garden with a single app store that is tightly controlled by Apple? After all if they didn't want this they could have purchased one of the numerous other Android offerings.

And if you didn't like railway cartel back at the time you could have used a horse instead. Wonderful thing about laws is that we can make the companies behave the way we want.
The way YOU want.

I, as an Apple device user, do not want to change Apple’s behaviour. I like ‘em just they way they are.

The market has decided on Standard Oil! What's the problem?
