In point of fact this is not "required of Apple."

Some part of me would LIKE it if someone would make (in effect) Trillian for iOS, but expecting Apple to do it when it is not in their interest to do so is just entitled.




We require companies to do things not in their interest all the time. My argument is that apple is violating anti trust laws, and the principles behind them, and is required but is not currently being compelled to do these things.


Making an argument that Apple is violating anti-trust laws at this point is like arguing that the moon is made of cheese. It's plainly, factually incorrect. There's literally nothing happening here that even approaches the guardrails established by, say, the Sherman Act.

It is not a violation of antitrust laws to build a better mousetrap, and require people to do business with you in order to enjoy said mousetrap.
