I refrained from something similar the other day. Perhaps I shouldn't have.

No, the comment was not directed at the ecosystem. It was only directed at a single part of a broader system that serves a universal purpose enabling the system to run that all similar ecosystems also need for the same purpose. It's like if 100 or so years ago Ford decided to use oval shaped fuel fillers, GM selected star shaped fillers, VW chose squares, and so on, to lock you into buying their own brands of fuel.
It's not even like the app store monopoly (from either the developer or consumer perspective) since added third party apps are not required for basic functioning of the phone.
