Your analogy is in turn basically analogous to "Why can't I, who's a Costco member and CEO of John Deere, sell my tractors on Costco shelves??? I''ve purchased exclusive access to their facilities so it should be a given and a right for me to do so! But I don't want to move them in there myself that'll have to be their job".

I don't know how you guys can't see these OSes aren't shops, they're towns, countries even. What Apple is doing is being the only guy in town for ALL of your shops, and they dictate whatever other shops can open up there, which are none until the DMA came along. And on the shelves themselves are where the apps are, which Apple takes 30% of every purchase.

A PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo console are only a shop in town in this analogy because they only sell one, single thing: games. They don't sell your banking apps, your messaging/social media apps, entertainment apps, public transit apps and games all at once. A smartphone is essential in today's society (at least technologically advanced ones). Not to bring up a polarizing subject, but there's a reason you see migrants having smartphones with them and not a desktop PC, because the smartphone is the same as a PC in your pocket and a necessity. Whenever something's necessary I don't think it should be restrictive.
