no, because they are gatekeepers and they operate within countries that have laws and regulations
Apple is not above the law... you cannot host pedofile stuff on YOUR platform because there are laws against it
heck I use a private rail company that travels on the rails built by the other state rail company thanks to EU law
they are better, have self check-in, bought double decker trains and the other train company laughed at them because these trains were designed originally for smaller distances
it is of course much more economical and this state rail company just ordered the same trains
the device and OS of Apple is like the rail tracks, people use them not Apple, and as long as they have that big marketshare they own the rails that developers MUST use
Apple would have just said no, double decker trains are not secure, everybody has to use our secure design on our rails because we protect our customers
monopoly hinders not just competitive prices but innovation too
