Okay, what's a shorter stretch of imagination, that Google and Apple are a duopoly, or that Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, Deezer etc etc, all of which share pretty much the same music library, are a monopoly by any definition?

Sorry, you mean Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, and Google?

Spotify has north of 50% market share in Europe. Apple doesn’t even come close.

There's a difference between "distribute music controlled largely by the 4 big labels" and "be a part of a duopoly that controls the distribution of literally everything pertaining to modern life"

You are saying duopoly when it isn't one i.e. Apple has 30% share.

I think you're capable of finding the other singular entity that controls a smartphone platform
