But the existence of competition or lack thereof can have its own effects, some of which are actually desirable and make the iPhone have the draw that it does.

If Facebook had a worthy competitor for example, surely you'll agree Facebook would be a considerably different product now. You might say that doesn't help my case, because it would actually be a better product, but it's not an inevitable outcome in every comparable scenario.
