Indeed this change has several drawbacks:

- less competition for the affected routes

- harder transfers between modes of transportation (physically)

- harder bookings across modes of transportation

- disappearance of entire routes made possible by hubs from flight-only OTAs (the vast majority of them)

I agree with the sentiment, but I suppose they should just be taxed higher and somehow forced to include a note like:

“A train/bus transfer between CDG and XYZ is also available with <third party>. Wanna book just up to CDG?”
