Okay, so it has to be something you purchase - we're slowly getting closer to the true opinion here.
Sony is a monopoly as well then? They decide what gets sold in the Playstation store. Same with Nintendo.
Ford and Tesla are monopolies, they solely decide what is software is sold or used in their car's infotainment center stores, despite the fact that I have purchased the car!
AWS is a monopoly, despite the fact that I purchase an EC2 instance from them for one year they will not let me run certain kinds of software on it (Parler, some crypto, etc.)
If you purchase a physical device, yes. You don't buy devices from AWS, you rent. I'm not sure what's hard about this.
