“Google has taken great pains to appear more open than Apple, licensing the Android operating system to third parties like Samsung and allowing users to install apps via other methods than the Play store. Apple does neither. When it comes to exclusivity, Apple has become synonymous with “walled garden” in the public imagination. So why did a jury find that Google held a monopoly but Apple didn’t?”
Because in practice, the term “Monopoly” is subjective. Anti-business, anti-capitalist call every big business a monopoly, whether it is or not. They think anticompetitive means not actively helping your competition get ahead of you. Actual monopolies are almost always a creation of government regulation, which is why they get away with it.

Found the dumbest take on the Internet today. Nice!
Can you explain how Microsoft became a monopoly because of government regulations in the 90s?
