Apple has > 60% market share in the US [1]. 60% is considered by courts to be a barrier to entry for new competitors [2]

All the search results for iOS US market share give such wildly different answers, from 15% to 65%. I wonder what the deal is.

A quick search for worldwide data shows that both Shopify as iOS have a market share in the ~23% area.

Thanks!
