It’s an interesting example because with this argument Apple could just clone every app that is valuable and kick the original off their platform.

They do this to some extent already, but it would be interesting to know if it is always legal.

To play devil's advocate to your devil, I don't really see Apple wanting to be in the market of making Candy Crush and all of its clones or any other of the various apps in the ecosystem. Much easier for them to just keep taking their cut.

However, seeing someone abusing something you thought might be a good idea that can only be stopped by lifting off and nuking it from orbit is a viable thing.
