A phone is just a computer. Why should they not be allowed to sell a computer that is locked down? There are lots of other computers for sale, some of which are locked down some of which are not. There’s nothing inherently or obviously anti-competitive about selling a computer that has lots of guardrails, and, in fact, that’s how they have distinguished their product from others.
