How could it be? Most Android manufacturers, including Google, allow you to use other app stores.

If anyone has an Unjust Monopoly in this space it's Apple. (Though I think it's unfortunately more complicated than that, as much as I'd love to see Apple forced to let other app stores on.)

It wouldn't hurt forcing them to allow other app stores to be listed in the app store.
