I don't think it does contradict anything he says about being customer focused. In my opinion, and experience, it doesn't mean 'completely ignore your competitors and sell their products on your own store', it means 'Develop your products by listening to what customers tell you and not by watching and copying what your competitors do'.

If you take that as the intent behind the quote then it's kinda parallel to the issue of whether to sell chromecast or not.
