Which is how capitalistic firms have always operated. The dynamic of capitalism tends toward monopoly. As it is, they have a legally sanctioned (and unexceptional) monopoly on the specific products they create (iPads, iPhones, etc.). Attempting to leverage that into a monopoly of tablets generally (and to take bigger share of the smartphone market) is a difference of degree, not kind. If you don't like it, blame capitalism, not Apple. Seriously, blame capitalism.
