That's more than likely because Apple has never really held market dominance for a substantial period of time.

Thanks to Android and Google. If Google had never released Android, you might be looking at an even more locked in monopoly, one far worse than the Wintel Duopoly of the 90s.
And then Apple would be in the same boat Google is in now. Of course, had Google been willing to create an open source OS without using an illegal trust to maintain control of it... well, then everyone would be in the clear.
Not really. Majority of the Android market are cheap devices, not 700$ ones.
