Apple is walking antitrust case.
Apple should know better than to use its weight to tear the flesh off of small players in new markets. This isn't innovation - this is pouring unrelated economic gains from one economy into a completely different market segment. It's wholly and utterly unfair.
A watch company should not be a movie studio.
A movie studio should not be a grocery store.
A search engine paying for 100% placement should not also be a music platform, movie platform, thermostat vendor, cloud vendor, ...
This is all levels of fucked.
The government needs to break these obese mafia companies apart. It'll be better for competition and the consumer.
Fair competition would help more rewards flow directly to innovators. Instead, these Megatech companies staffed with their reams of PMs grow like a blob [1, 2] into anything that pops up on their radar.
