I know very well, and I think that's the sticky point that needs untangling to take antitrust legislation into the XXI digital century. Ecosystem competition is not enough.

Imagine buying a house, and having to ask to the original builder for permission to buy wardrobes, or a fridge, a table and chairs. The builder can tell you what he does or does not allow, and takes a cut of every purchase you make. It's a ludicrous proposition, but that's very much how our digital life currently is.
