Wrong. A major part of the government's role in maintaining a fair market is ensuring the illegality of contracts that operate against the freedom and fairness of that market. Anticompetitive contract terms inherently fall into that category.
But why should this apply to Apple's iOS App Store?
Maintaining a fair *public* market is important for the general *public* and is thus an important role for the *public* government to play. None of this should apply to a *private* market, as long as no-one is ever forced into a situation where they only have access to that private market.
You can't even stumble into this private market by accident, you need to consciously make the decision of buying an iPhone. You end up in the public market just by being born, which was not your choice, so yes, the public market needs to be safeguarded against monopolies.
But any consenting adult can make the choice for themselves to enter into Apple's private market and accept whatever rules Apple enforces. They can also leave whenever they want, which again, you can't really do with the public market.
