> why the same wouldn't apply to Apple for iOS?

Microsoft got into trouble because they forced companies like Dell and HP to make their products feature Internet Explorer.

Google is getting into trouble now because they're forcing companies like Samsung and LG to make their products feature Chrome.

Apple is not getting into trouble now because Apple is not forcing Apple to make their products feature Safari. Obviously iOS does feature Safari, but Apple was free to make that choice. There is no OEM here being bullied.
