So Apple's rebuttal to the App Store monopoly claims is to suggest that because users can access content via web browser, the App Store can't possibly be a monopoly? And yet how many users consume content using their phone's browser as opposed to an app? How many websites purposely degrade their mobile browsing experience (cough cough Reddit) in order to forcibly encourage their users onto the app?

The point isn't that there are many ways to consume content. It's that the power of a mobile device and operating system lie in its app ecosystem, and on Apple there is still only one (legal) way to get apps, so their argument is rather DoA.
