> I mean Average Joes off the street, who can't find Ukraine on the map
How many Ukrainians can find Iowa or Missouri on the map? This metric means nothing.
With this bad faith line of reasoning that ignores user defaults, ecosystem ties and switching friction, Windows was also never a monopoly because companies and users could just switch to Mac or Linux whenever they wanted.

Since when is Missouri a country?
This bad faith line of reasoning ignores how viable Mac or Linux actually were as consumer devices at the time Microsoft had a monopoly.
Their country doesn't make decisions about American on their behalf (or even at all), so they don't have a moral obligation as citizens to. And Iowa and Missouri are mere states, and not even very interesting ones at that.
Being able to point something out on a map is a metric that means nothing. That is my point.
