the whole filing is about how apple's anticompetitive behavior is allowing them to abuse their customers. its not about letting "poors" into the walled garden/prison. its about letting you out, if you so choose, at a reduced cost to switching. which in turn spurs competition and all the good stuff that comes with that for the consumers. android users are only tangentially related to the case. specifically with relation to messaging, android users benefit as a side effect of apple being forced to integrate with a modern more universal messaging protocol, which happens to not shockingly be RCS. all as a way of lowering switching costs to existing iphone users. let me know where to stop:
1. Obtaining a monopoly by superior products, innovation, or business acumen is legal; however, the same result achieved by exclusionary or predatory acts may raise antitrust concerns.
2. Exclusionary conduct can include switching costs (high costs that users of a product would face in switching to a substitute)
3. Switching costs can be monetary, psychological, effort-based, and time-based.
4. Social stigma can be a psycological switching cost for apple users moving to a competitor.
5. The social stigma does not come from apple creating a better messaging experience solely on merit. It comes from excluding iphone users from messaging non-iphone users in a secure and modern fashion.

Dude, I don't want to get into this back and forth back forth again so I'm just say this and leave it be for now. What you don;t get is that this is just sound babble the leftist DOJ is making up to give Biden one more thing to tout about. This is not a legal basis for suing a company and is one hell of a slippery slope to start going down. We're gonna start going after companies in highly competitive markets because they may socially impact minorities?
Anyway, I can't wait for Apple to substantively respond. Will be quite interesting to see how leftist company like Apple handles this leftist nonsense.
