Oh? Microsoft got in trouble for using the Windows monopoly to 1.) gain market share for their free browser and 2.) forcing OEMs to not sell alternative operating systems so they could keep their Windows monopoly. You can read all about that here [0]

That's exactly the kind of behavior that Apple is exhibiting here.

It's pretty easy to come along and say that I'm "ignoring the basic facts of the case" though without presenting any facts of your own to back that up. So let's hear your take now.

They got in trouble for lock in. Their integration of Internet Explorer practically made out the de facto implementation and made Windows the de facto operating system on machines.

But again, Sign In with Apple sits in addition to the other offerings, it doesn’t replace them, and in no case are developers expected to be unable to offer regular sign in with email.

To my mind, you’re not wrong, but making a rather different argument.

It's not different. On Windows, everybody could always install a different browser or OS. Nobody stopped them from doing that.
