Censorship is fine, even necessary.
The problem is when that is a monopoly - both in theory and in practice. And this problem has shades of grey.
Apple/Google having unique app stores as centralized chokepoints and telling you to quit their ecosystems if they ban an app is a problem, because there is no credible exit. For some that exit is acceptable, not for me.
