 There are lots of "app stores" for various devices and operating systems.

 I know that. You know that. More important, the DOJ knows that too.
It's just one of the wacky Apple nutters who said this, and I quote:
 "How dare a company make unique products and services! HANG THEM!!!"
 That nutter has no idea that simply putting a trademark on something
doesn't make it unique - especially when everyone has an app store too.

They were being sarcastic / joking. It also wasn't about the App Store - hence the world "products" in there.
The US DOJ, thanks to greedy whiners like Epic Games, are basically saying Apple, Google, Meta, etc. cannot have proprietary things (devices and services) because that makes it a "monopoly" ... which is complete and utter nonsense. The US DOJ obviously has zero understanding of how businesses or the tech industry works. Any judge who gives this idiotic court case more than two seconds of their time is a moron who shouldn't even be allowed to be a judge.   :-\
