Was there not a huge lawsuit around this kind of crap in the 90's? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Cor....

How did this anticompetitive BS ever get the greenlight from legal?

A good thing about monopolies is that it gives the government the power to step in and stop anti-consumer abuses. In duopolies, such as Windows/MacOS or iPhone/Android, the government doesnt have as much power.

I think this is a pointless distinction, and I'm not a lawyer, but I also don't think it even matters from a legal perspective whether a company is a Hasbro-style 100% monopoly. The reason the government is going after these companies is probably just because the people in charge are incompetent and/or lazy morons.
