> Nothing is stopping Apple or Google from shaking MS down for more dollars by bumping up app store profit sharing splits

The government is stopping this kind of thing, anti trust, monopolies and all that. It is only getting worse for these platform owners

Lol no, the government doesn't care or set any restrictions on the profit split Apple/Google sets for people selling products in their store. Monolopy and anti-trust concerns buying companies and marketshare, not being a better product and consumers willingly switching to your product. It would actually be the death of capitalism for the government to go to Apple/Google and say, "woah woah woah hold on, this is _too popular_ we need to put the brakes on your profits". That kind of stuff only happened in centrally planned economies like the USSR.

maybe look up the railroad and oil monopolies history in the US
