it's a monopoly that only exists because copyright and patent laws allow it to exist.

The antitrust laws are nice in theory but wouldn't even be necessary if the iOS app market and phones weren't already protected under a government monopoly.

I see the root of the issue as an intellectual property issue even though the symptom does seem to be an antitrust issue.
