Walgreens refuses to sell the hairbrush I created in their store. Antitrust!

Don’t like the App Store? Ship a web app. Or ship it on other platforms like Android. Apple doesn’t owe you anything.

If there were only only Walmart and target and those were the only two brick and mortar stores in the country and Walmart refused to cooperate, then there would be antitrust concerns.

anti-trust is anytime you abuse your market position to influence the market. Walmart has has numerous antitrust lawsuits in the past and this is despite the fact they have tons of competition (though their scale gives them an unfair advantage).
