Sure it is. It doesn't change the monopoly position. The real question isn't whether this is a monopoly but whether it's being abused. E.g. imagine if Google charged 99% fee on any sale via the Play Store. Or if Google disallowed alternative methods of payment but their own for any app distributed on the Play Store.
