On: Japan to crack down on Apple and Google app store ...

I mean, when I was buying something on Windows, it won't forced me to use Microsoft App Store. So why Google and Apple should be an exception?

And when you were at Walmart, I’m sure you were also puzzled why there wasn’t a rent free Target store within the Walmart. Or when you were on the Xbox store, etc etc.

The difference is Apple makes and spend all the R&D to make the hardware and the software. M$ just makes the toy OS and terrible laptops.

Bad analogy, because I can either be at Walmart (App store) or not exist at all (no sideloading, other stores) in case of Apple

If this would be the case in the real world, FTC would be tearing such Walmart apart.
