> Microsoft lost their case because they ABUSED of their dominant position, that's exactly what Apple is doing in the iOS market

Microsoft used their monopoly power in the operating system market to forcibly acquire market share in the web browser market. The case against Microsoft was based on their monopoly power.

Apple has no monopoly power so you cannot claim the situations are the same, sorry.

I've made my point. You seem more interested in off-topic ranting rather than engaging in good faith so I'm going to move on.

Apple used their monopoly power to forcibly aquire market share for their Safari browser

(If Apple has no power, how comes that they killed Flash and are stalling the adoption of PWAs?)
