The claim is that an iPad/iPhone will also work. Not that that makes it acceptable; if anything, it's worse, because if it were Google Play only it'd be more obvious how unacceptable it is, whereas catering to the duopoly makes it less obvious how much it excludes people and builds a reliance on proprietary systems.

One company can soon dictate who can enter the websites. And only two commercial operating systems are viable in the world after this change. Not nice.
