> The problem is the iPhone and Android platforms are the only two ways to reach many customers.

Neither has a monopoly, or anything close to a monopoly. Duopolies are legal.

This isn't a bad thing. People who want native apps from a source other than Apple or Google can pretty easily get them: Cydia's existed longer than the App Store has, and Google makes it easy to sideload anything.

The world doesn't owe you a business model, and you can't take away people's rights because you want a better way to sell your wares.
