While those are big numbers, determining if a company has a monopoly requires looking at the numbers and market share of competing companies as well.

There are no competitors to Apple for IOS App distribution.
Is the Google Play Store not the overwhelmingly dominant app market on Android? Yes, they are less restrictive and allow the potential for other app stores to exist, but based on market capture of their respective platforms I believe they are pretty comparable. I am struggling to find numbers to corroborate this, but Google has recently lost a case asserting that their Play Store dominance constituted a monopoly - which seems like it should certainly apply to Apple as well.
