> You have a monopoly and the kartel formed to fight it.It is pretty laughable that they were fined 450m being anticompetitive, when they actually introduced competition

1. There is nothing illegal about having a monopoly. It is illegal to abuse monopoly status. When Amazon gets around to abusing their monopoly, the DoJ will act. Accusing of future abuse now is just pre-crime.

2. Apple were free to compete by legal means. They got smacked-down because they chose to break laws, not because they were "fighting a monopoly"

It really is in black and white, as affirmed by Apple losing at every court the case was heard.
