It's so frustrating seeing so many people repost this shit thinking that repeating the same garbage is helpful.

No one gives a fuck about the "legal" definition of why this is "allowed". Looking at this with basic common sense, what Apple is getting away with is much worse than what Google is getting pegged for.

People complaining don't care that there's a stupid loophole in the legal definitions as to why Apple is allowed to do this. If the laws and definitions make that OK, and Google's actions are held to be more "anti competitive" then the laws and definitions need to change.

That's what people are complaining about. Not that "oh what's the legal loophole that allows this". No one cares about the legal shit that allows this. That's why they keep complaining "even after this has been answered".
