Apple doesn’t have a monopoly they have a platform that a lot of other organisations (including Mozilla) depend on. The EU has legislated restrictions for any platform that is in that position.

They drew a line in the sand for what size a platform needs to be for this new legislation to apply and Xbox isn’t big enough.
