What about giant app stores that control almost all consumer spending in those markets? How many businesses can survive being banned by both Apple and Google's stores? Or even by just one?

Sure your business is destroyed, but you're right, you can easily get a new email address.

Just to be clear, you are talking about the quality of b2b services, between parties that have entered a business relationship, not consumer protection.

b2b issues greatly affect consumers - there's no fabled "consumer choice" if a handful of businesses are allowed to dominate or decide who may enter their market/app store.

And when so many businesses are at the mercy of a few giant companies, we probably shouldn't deny them protection with the "it's a b2b matter" dismissal.
