What utter nonsense. It's not like any other company is any different, and apart from a few loud-mouthed morons who want to fill their own pockets at Apple's expense, nobody gives a flying crap that you can only install iOS apps from teh Apple App Store.

 If you really are so clueless that you can't even tell the difference
between Apple & Google in terms of Apple's rapacious app market business
model, then you will never be able to understand why Apple is being sued.
 Apple will lose because Apple's business model is to be as anti-consumer as
they can possibly get away with being - without being sued for it.
 Only drug companies are as anti consumer as Apple is.

Why?? Because only Apple makes an iPhone? What complete crap.
What about Toyota being the only ones making a Corolla? What about McDonalds only making Big Macs? What about... Every company on the planet has their own copyrighted products.
So you can only install iPhone apps from the Apple App Store ... 99.9% of their customers couldn't give a flying crap. It's only the whining greedy scumbags and the conspiracy nutters who are complaing about it.

Epic, Google, etc. were whining on about how Apple charges too much in fees for their app store, and then has pretty much the same thing for developers wanting to use their store

 With Android, Windows & Linux, you can get your apps from anywhere you
want, without needing to get them from Google, Microsoft, or RedHat.
 How could you not know that?

That wasn't the point. If you want to sell your app on the Google Play Store or the Epic Store, then you'll have to pay them for the privlege ... just like they were complaining about Apple making them pay to have their apps on the Apple App Store. It's the usual two-faced bullshit we've come to expect from these greedy scum who complain about Apple only to then do exactly the same thing.
Apple has basically become the fall guy and is sued by every idiot simply because Apple has a lot of money that every greedy scumbag on the planet wants to try and grab a handful off, no matter what idiotic reason they can dredge up.  :-(
