They offer multiple products and services. Each of which can have a respective monopoly.
OK but what monopoly do they have? I can't even think of one, let alone two.
Windows, for example, is about 29% of web traffic, putting them in second place behind Android... and Apple is also bigger than Windows if you don't split the fruit companies operating system up based on wether or not it has a touch screen (seems like a silly distinction to me).
There are clearly three players with about a third of the market each in the OS space. What's the other one? Microsoft Office? Isn't that like 20% of the market?
Are you seriously comparing PCs to Android phones and pretending they're the same market? Lol
You may as well be saying Luxottica can't possibly have a monopoly on manufacturing glasses as there are plenty of manufacturers of binoculars.
"They're both used for seeing things! I don't see the monopoly!"
Don't dare to bring reason into your arguments! /s
