The OP seems to think so.

What he said was:

I look forwards to the posts where because Apple is not an absolute monopoly they are somehow immune to any accusations of anti-trust.

A person who can read and understand English can understand that he didn't say that they had an absolute monopoly, but was anticipating stupid arguments about it not being antitrust if they don't have one. You are not that person, apparently, but you are a person whose knee would jerk and result in a defense of Apple's actions.

It's incredibly easy to not use any Apple products at all.

It's easy if you know ahead of time. If you're some poor fucker who got tricked into a "free" iPhone and then you bought some apps and shit and got your data into the iCloud and then you find out that Apple's anticompetitive* actions are impacting you, now there is an actual financial cost to changing. In a world where the vast majority of people are living paycheck to paycheck, it is not easy and no one should have to listen to your privileged assertions in defense of Apple's illegal acts.

* Fucking Mozilla didn't put this word into the Firefox dictionary, I wonder why not? Probably sucking off Google. I know we're talking about Apple here but holy shit there's a lot of sleazy shit going around. Ironically if you google "define anticompetitive" you get a nice big fat definition from Oxford languages so that you don't have to visit their site, which is itself an example of anticompetitive behavior.

Whether HDR is real or not depends on both brightness and color depth. Many TVs will take 10 bit input but have an 8 bit panel and simply aren't capable of displaying subtle gradations. Then they do fake HDR. This can still make improvements (they can do better dithering, my LG43UT8000 actually does get noticeably better in so called HDR+ mode, which is really fake HDR) but they still don't have more dynamic range.
