The case was more complicated than you’re suggesting, and a lot less relevant.
Which of these companies are you suggesting has the monopoly position in the phone market? Apple? Google?
Which other OS-level AI voice assistants are being prevented from competing in this case? This isn’t like a web browser download where the marginal cost is negligible download bandwidth. Voice assistants are expensive to develop and run. They’re investments made in the product being sold.
Most importantly: What outcome do you even want? That the government forbid companies from developing AI integration into their own platforms because it might make people more loyal to those platforms?
