Counter argument then.

Why can’t I as a laptop manufacturer decide to install a different default browser on Windows for my devices? Or change the start menu?

The phone manufacturer can choose to ship another OS.

Now sure there is absolutely an argument about their monopoly causing other apps to not be compatible on your own custom os but the same argument applies to windows and the only way to make apps run on linux is through an emulation/compatibility layer and even then it might not work.

So by that argument Microsoft should also be taken up for antitrust, which Im all for but I doubt thats going to happen.
