Maybe I misunderstood the poster who was making that sarcastic comment?

It appeared to me that the poster was trying to claim Apple makes unique
products, but if you say it was sarcasm, then I agree with him & with you.

An app store isn't unique - it's a commodity.
A messaging app isn't unique - it's a commodity.

If it was sarcasm, then the person who made that statement agrees with me
that Apple does not make those products unique simply by preventing
integration and competition as a messaging app and an app store are
commodities, which the DOJ argues Apple lies about why they control it.

It's up to the judge to decide if the DOJ is correct that Apple is lying
about why Apple severely controls these commodities versus if Apple is
telling the truth that they prevent integration to "protect" the consumer.

Thank you for explaining that the poster didn't mean what he had said.
