    Microsoft was not declared a monopolist because of their dominant market position in operating system space.

    They were declared a monopolist because they used that market position to actively disincentive the use of competitor’s browsers, beyond “just including a browser”, but actively doing things to make other browsers difficult to download and use on their operating system.

    Apple is not declared a monopolist because they do not own and control chrome, the really dominant market player derived from WebKit, and apple are not using some dominant market position to enforce that.

    If you see things differently and think the same logic as these cases could be applied to steam, go ahead and contact epic’s legal department.
