At what point does bundling become competitive vs non-competitive?

It does seem like Microsoft can crush any Saas startup by including a "good enough" competitive product in their bundle.

As a consumer of these products, one central webapp / native app is extremely appealing (relative to having 8 apps open when I start my workday).

Is there a way we could prevent anti-competitive practices while _also_ encouraging service integration like MS 365 and the Google Software Suite?

Maybe a separate app that integrates various services (that you can swap in and out?) Something like Wavebox but nicer (and free-er)?
