Again, I believe you fundamentally misunderstand antitrust. You compare it to going to the bakery next door and forcing it to sell your bread.

That's exactly what makes a de facto monopoly. Your arguments sound like this to me: "This is not a dictatorship, because you are not forced to obey the power in place. You could just overtake the government and take the power yourself."

What's preventing you (or someone with capital they want to risk) from building a mobile OS?
