I'm not a lawyer, but the government can claim that Apple is engaging

Everyone sensible has always known exactly why Apple excludes competition
from their app store,

 Wrong. Anyone can use the App Store to sell their products. The problem is the greedy scum at Epic, etc. simply don't want to pay to do so - they want Apple to do the hosting, prmotion, etc. for free.
  

especially since nobody else does this but Apple.

 Wrong. Every other app store out there is exactly the same. Even Epic's own app store hypocritically charges to sell apps on there.
 

I agree. And the saddest part is that all these bastards get away with it every time, while poor, honest, generous, faithful apple get's shit on every damn time.
We should begin taking up a collection to help pay for all their fines.
