I struggle with some of the points here, but one thing is for certain. Any business app that does not support both Android and IOS is unlikely to gain strong market share as Android and IOS together have a duopoly. The point that IOS doesn't have a monopoly by itself doesn't seem to be enough in my mind. I can't imagine that this is lost on antitrust regulators.
I like how some still characterize Apple's money pile as a weakness. The last five months showed Apple's cash pile to be a wise choice in a world where most businesses can't weather a few weeks of global perturbance without shaking tax payers for loose change.
