You aren't even understanding the basics of what's going here.

form your previous posts ive gathered you think the "basic issues" are

1. That this is a political issue and pandering to poors.
This is not the case because similar cases have been brought against most, if not all, of the major tech giants under various regimes over the years for abusing network effects. Also, obtaining an iPhone has never been easier. In fact, low switching cost for new users is part of the anticompetitive ploy the DOJ is accusing Apple of abusing.

2. This is hurts Apple
Well no shite. If they are using abusing network effects to boost their bottom line and market share, of course removing that practice will hurt both of those for them. If you really believed that Apple was solely thriving on their platform/device superiority, then the outcome of the case should have little effect on Apple.

Points you are refusing to address directly:
1. How this is bad for the consumer.
2. Why the grounds for the case is valid or not.
3. Whether you believe the DOJ should be able to try to prevent anticompetitive behavior in markets, and why.
