Windows had a grater than 95% market share during their biggest anti trust suit.
There is no legal definition of a “legitimate monopoly.” 95% or 30% or even 0%. Anti-competitive practises which distort the market and prevent consumer choice are illegal. This has nothing to do with the market share Apple holds. It is about them restricting competition.
