    Google is a monopoly.

    Web search, sure. Online video, sure. Mobile operating systems in the US specifically? Uhh, no.

      Its a 70:30 split between Android and Apple. So you have a choice between Apple’s walled garden and Google’s… ecosystem. Best case scenario its a duopoly.

        Sure but OEMs of Android phones can still ship app stores competing with Google Play. That what Samsung (the biggest Android vendor) does with Galaxy Store.
