A valid point, the main issue at hand is that the iPhone is locked down to Apple’s approved store - you can’t just install things like a regular computer. That’s really the core of the lawsuit regarding the insane 30% cut Apple forces on their mobile computing platform.

Steam isn’t a monopoly.
The PC is an open platform, you can use any game store or launcher you want - unlike the iPhone, Android (without sideloading), PlayStation, switch, or Xbox.

Epic bought the studio and nuked the Linux version, no apology.
Edit: I redact my earlier message, based on your other many comments in this thread I believe you are an Epic game store bot - or a corporate shill.

In fairness they’re not the same thing - recall records everything you do making a nice single honeypot of all your actions. Apple’s thing is really just a search bar that can reach into apps like email, calendar, etc - it’s not recording your bank logins. Google Play Services tracks everything you do on Android and sells it to advertisers.
