> A free market tends to correct itself in the long term

Only if enough consumers are affected.

Situations like the OP happen, but they're exceptionally rare. They just make a lot of noise.



Not necessarily. In a competitive market, Google would need to fight to win over developers, otherwise their store will be lacking apps, and therefore customers.

A noisy post like OPs would actually make Google shit themselves if they didn’t have an app store monopoly. Even if it’s a single dev out of millions, the bad press would be much more costly than making things right.
