Microsoft was considered a monopoly for including internet explorer with windows, despite the fact you could still install a 3rd party browser.

They weren't considered a monopoly for including IE, they were considered a monopoly for very much being the dominant OS and then were abusing said monopoly to block competing products or standards.
