I want them to use antitrust regulation against everyone, including me. That's what having values is like.
Markets without competition degenerate. Markets are also artificial and always rely on government enforcement to exist - Apple sues people who try to get around its market manipulation. You just prefer that governments help enforce trusts and destroy competition that those trusts denote as unfair.

Historically, markets are destroyed by government interference, not propped up by it. Your own example is a case in point: were it not for the government making laws in favor of entrenched companies, Apple couldn't sue the people trying to get around its market manipulation.

This is a grossly unfair mischaracterization of the post you are replying to. Bad show, old chap.
Apple doesn't _need_ to sue people. They can just stop distributing their apps.
That's it. No "government monopoly" or anything, just regular commercial monopolism.
