What else do they mean by "switching costs" and social stigma?
their reference to "switching cost" is about keeping existing iphone users on iphone. not about poors not being able to afford iphones.

This social pressure reinforces switching costs and drives users to continue buying iPhones

What does social stigma have to do with monopolistic practices?
that driving people to purchase your product via engineered social stigma and not through creating a better widget is anti-competitive.

also probably important to point out to you that the "switching cost" they are referring to isn't money. its that if you leave iphone you will have limited access to text messaging iphone users and endure the social stigma previously mentioned.

Exactly.
So you think the Biden administration should be using antitrust laws as a tool to strong-arm private businesses about what social practices it deems unacceptable, and you're ok with that.
