No one company should have so much power over other private enterprises. To the extent we even have antitrust laws, this is why they exist.

Even if you're a fan of small, limited, or no government at all, and even if you're suspicious of the Biden administration's motives in general, as a consumer you should be overjoyed at the news that the Justice Department is suing Apple for a litany of antitrust violations.

What do I mean by 'malicious compliance?' Well, look what happened when a judge ordered the company to accept alternative payment methods in its app store. After the Supreme Court wouldn't take the case, Apple said, 'ok fine, but you have to get our permission to take alternative payments, and you have to keep offering our payment system too, and you have to pay a 27 percent commission on sales.
