Because Apple and Android are a duopoly and virtually a global one. And you throw all the pro-consumer laws at monopolies and duopolies, to strip them of any leverage they might have over consumers

    But why though? I'm serious. People willingly want to be customers of this. They know that *polies are going to have leverage on them and still buy their product. Why should we say, 'No, we're not going to let you do that'? Or maybe you think that people are just not informed enough and don't understand the consequences of their actions? Then maybe we should educate them instead of trying to control?
