What you bring up as a difference is actually an example of how they are the same. Apple has to attract content and apps to it's platform. It's essential. If Apple truly does drive too many of such businesses away from it's platform, the platform will fail.
It's exactly like a mall. You have to have the stores to bring in the people. But you don't have to have ALL the stores. Maybe you turn off Gucci, but you land Prada.
