Barking up the wrong tree, to be honest. Apple are the real monopolistic dickheads here.
They're being sued by the DOJ too.
Why go for the greater of two evils when you can take on all the evils at once?

I'm not disagreeing. Fuck apple.
But the issue here is that Google offers Android to competitors but to get all the services, you need to offer the entire Google Ecosystem. Which is why you see Samsung phones offering a Samsung store AND A Google Play Store.
Apple doesn't offer their OS to competitors.
Enough with the false dichotomy. Two things can suck at the same time.
It can be both my friend, and indeed it is both
Unlike Apple you can run an alternative app store (since Android 13(?) even with API for background updates) but on the other hand, Play Services are one big tracking engine.
