In a healthy market with viable competition this would either not happen or be swiftly corrected by a massive drop in market share.
So what’s gone wrong?

People are locked in. It's not easy to switch to another product. Even if someone is willing the pay the price for another system and pay to have the data moved and apps repurchased, they now have to learn a new OS.
But that’s the thing, why is it this way? Driving a Hyundai or a Toyota you wouldn’t notice the difference, but learning a new OS is so hard that people don’t do it.
I wish the ergonomics would be more standard so switching costs aren’t so high.
Because it benefits the tech companies to make their user interface different enough to make it difficult to relearn another one. There are no official standards like there are for the vehicle user interface.
