Apple and Google together can tank just about any mobile platform they wish though, see Parler. If you're off both app stores, you'll have a stupidly hard time growing even if the demand's there in principle.

Right and that’s illegal.

Google and Apple if they worked together to manipulate the market, that’s grounds for fines etc.

Kicking apps off their app stores would not qualify and should not qualify.

Parler couldn’t put up a website?
