I think you're conflating their designation as "markets" because they are marketplaces of apps with the economic term "markets" which has a specific definition for a sector of industry.
no conflation at all. read up on some of the trials for Google and Apple over the last couple years. The anti-trust trials aren't talking about a "super market", they're talking about a relevant market in anti-trust context.
You’re discussing this in the context of a case that deemed that it wasn’t an anti-trust violation because it was determined Apple doesn’t have a monopoly, though. They’re not considered their own markets.
