Yeah you are right that people are applying the wrong laws and expecting results. Ideally we would consider creating new laws. But it is hard to explain why a company's control over its own platform can be harmful especially if competition exists.

IMO the reason is that both customers and small creators end up losing in this scheme. They end up purchasing/making products often not for creativity or joy, but for necessity and FOMO. And yet these products are planned obsolescence. So even if this isn't a monopoly, it is exploitative.

I'm not sure whether the US can/should make a law against exploiting customers. But people should at least talk more about this weird tech environment we are in.

From what I can tell, the company in question is just another ad platform pretending to be a game maker. Nothing of value is lost

If that's the case then Apple could have been transparent about it and then everyone would be on their side.
