But as the parent comment you're replying to said, the situations aren't comparable.
Microsoft had over 90% of the market in the 90s. You could not stop using Windows, because there was simply no credible alternative for most consumers. That's not true for iOS.
If Microsoft at the time had, say, 50% of the market the outcome would likely have been extremely different.
