Yes. Oversimplified: Apple iOS is a closed system, Google Android is an open(-ish) system. These "abuses" mentioned in the article are not something Apple would need to do:

Google was accused in the complaint of paying Samsung Electronics Co., the largest Android manufacturer, to ensure that the Korean company didn’t develop its own competing app store. Additionally, after Fortnite maker Epic Games Inc. began distributing its app outside of Google’s store, Google “bought off” developers to dissuade them from doing the same, according to the complaint.
